Universal Plain Dividing Head - TM
Universal Plain Dividing Head – TM – Hardinge Taper or Threaded Nose Spindle
This unique dividing head has a quick 4:1 ratio for rapid indexing. The spindle is a
precision ground pre-loaded ball bearing spindle with a 5C collet seat and either a
Hardinge taper or threaded spindle nose. The head can swing from 10° below horizontal
to 20° beyond vertical. The two – piece draw spindle allows the draw bar to be removed
without loosening the collet, allowing work to be easily accomplished in the vertical
position. Seven index plates come with the unit. An adjustable stop plate is provided
which can be locked in any position, speeding up work when doing repetitive angular
milling. The dividing head also comes with a center / driver, tailstock, spanner wrench
for the draw spindle, and the index table chart.

Dividing Head
The Dividing Head or Spiral Milling Heads are used extensively in milling spiral and
helical gears, constant velocity drum cams, etc. The manner of transmitting motion to the
spindle in the head is the same for both types, but the construction of the main castings
are entirely different. The Dividing Head is designed so that its spindle can be swiveled
vertically, while the spindle of the Spiral Milling Head is rigidly fixed in a one – piece
housing to provide an attachment suitable for heavy and continuous helical milling. The
Spindle of the Dividing Head is housed in a swivel block, which can swing from 10°
below horizontal to 20° beyond vertical. The two – piece draw spindle allows the draw
bar to be removed without loosening the collet, allowing work to be done in the vertical
position.
There are a few oil cups in the Dividing Head. Be sure to apply oil periodically
throughout use.

Setting up the Dividing Head
The instruction outlined for this set-up should be followed in the order in which they are
listed.
1. Clean the table of the milling machine and the bottom of the Dividing Head and
Tailstock.
2. Clamp the Dividing Head in the center slot of the table, in a suitable position for
the length of the work.
3. Test the Dividing Head Spindle with a test bar and indicator to see that it is
parallel with the table.
4. Clamp the Tailstock in the proper position, depending upon the length of the
work.
5. Line up the Tailstock center with the Headstock center.
6. Line up the cutter centered with the Dividing Head or Tailstock center.
7. Lock the saddle in position.
8. Swing the Table to the correct angle (Universal Machine Only). If a Spiral
Milling attachment is being used on a plain machine, swing it to the correct angle.
9. Lock the housing in position. (Universal Machine only).
10. Withdraw the index plate stop. The index plate must be free to revolve with the
index pin. Note: The stop engaging the index plate should be engaged only when
the Dividing Head is used without the Gear Box Assembly for index center.
11. Set up the change gears.
12. Set the index plate and sector for the proper spacing.
13. Oil the Dividing Head and change gears (if used) thoroughly.

How to Calculate Indexing with Side Plate
I case particular circle of holes on the index plate becomes worn through constant use;
you may be able to use some other circle of holes & get the same result. The following
set of rules & example illustrate the procedure to follow in obtaining the maximum
number of settings for any condition of indexing.
1. Divide 40 by the number of divisions required. The result gives the number of
turns or fraction of a turn of the index pointer.
3. Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms, and multiply both parts of the fraction by
the same number until the denominator equals the number of holes in any circle.
a. Standard Dividing Head Plate Number of hole for indexing: 24, 25, 28,
30, 34, 37,38, 39, 41, 42, & 43 (on one side;) 46, 47, 49, 51, 53, 54, 57,
58, 59, 62, & 66 (on the other)
Example
Suppose you want to calculate all the indexing circles for 3 divisions
40 1
= 13 Turns of the index pointer
3 3
x Note: use pitch diameter in calculating helical angle for helical and spiral gears, worms, etc
One-third of a turn could be obtained by rotating the index pin over one space in a 3-
division circle (rule 2). Since we do not have a 3-hole circle, we must use one into
which 3 can evenly divide the number of holes. For instance 8 spaces in the 24-hole
circle (8/24 = 1/3), 10 spaces in a 30-hole circle (10/30 = 1/3), etc. One-third of a turn
can be obtained in any of the following circles:
15
1 X 8 8
Or 8 spaces in the 24 hole circle
3 X 8 24
1 X 10 10

How to Mill Cams
Rise and fall cams having a relatively narrow face may be machined using the type of
set up (indicated in fig…) The cutter may be supported in any type of swivel head,
such as a Universal Spiral Milling Attachment or Vertical Attachment. Almost any
cam lead can be machined, and by trying different machine leads, the angle to which
the dividing head must be set can be changed to suit conditions. All you need in
addition to these instructions is a table of sine functions.
Lead of Cam
Formula: = Sine of Angle “D”
Lead of Table
Examples:
1. Suppose you want to mill a cam having a .500” lead. Assume change gears are set
up for 2.5” table lead.
Lead of Cam .5
= =.200; Sine of Angle “D”
Lead of Table 2.5 “D” = 11 Degrees, 33 min.
b. Assume change gears are set up for 9.935” table lead, instead of 8”, as in
example 2a, then
6.005
=.6044; Angle “D” = 37 degrees, 11 min

Cam Rolls & Roll Studs
It is important that the cam roll & roll stud be ground all over after hardening. The
end of the roller should be cut back or recessed 1/64” (or thereabouts) on the sides for
some distance, beginning at the periphery, so as to avoid undue friction against the
collar of the stud or the part in which it is mounted. On account of the warping that
takes place in hardening, rolls that are not ground on both inside & on the outside
often will stop under heavy load, until ,in time, flat spots are worn on the face. Then
the working surface of the cam will begin to wear or is roughed up. Roll studs that are
out of parallel with the working surface of the cam, even to a very small degree, also
cause trouble. The same difficulty is met with on cylinder or barrel cams if the
milling cutter is set below or above the center of the cam when cutting it. The roll will
then bear at one end only at the most important time – when the throw takes place.
There is a great deal of end pressure on the conical roll used in barrel cams, & this
must be taken care of by thrust collars on the stud on which the rolls are mounted, or,
better still, by a ball race scored in the collar & the large end of the roll, so as to
provide for a ball thrust bearing. The end pressure on the conical roll, however,
reduces the side pressure on the stud to a considerable extent, so that the stud may be
made shorter or smaller in diameter than when a roll with parallel sides is used.

Mathmatical Tables
Tables of Trigonometric Functions. -The numerical values for the natural or trigonometric functions for
some degrees and minutes are given in the tables, pages 17 to 19 inclusive. The chart below shows how to
find the functions of angles between 0 and 180o degrees.
Examples: The sine of 260 is 0.43837; of 460 0.71934; of 1260, 0.80902; and of 1460, 0.55919.
Exception: To obtain the inversed sine of any angle from 90 to 1800, enter the table in
column for cosine of required angle and add ii to value shown.
Example: Find versed sine 1020. Versed sine = 1 - cos of angle. Between 900
and 1800, values of cosine are negative; hence,
The sine is positive for all angles up to 1800 degrees. The cosine, tangent and cotangent for angles
between 900 and 1800 degrees, while they have the same numerical values as for angles from 0 to 900
degrees, are negative. These should be preceded by a minus sign; thus tan 1230 degrees 20 minutes - -1-

Cam Milling Plate Cams
Plate cams having a constant rise, such as are used on automatic screw machines, can be cut in a universal
milling machine, with the Spiral Head either in a vertical position or set at an angle †, as shown by the
illustration. When the Spiral Head is set vertical, the “Lead” of the cam (or its rise for one complete
revolution) is the same as the lead for which the machine is geared; but when the Spiral Head and cutter are
inclined, any lead or rise of the cam can be obtained provided it is less than the lead for which the machine
is geared, that is, less than the forward feed of the table for one turn of the spiral Head spindle. The cam
lead, then, can be varied within certain limits by simply changing the inclination † of the Spiral Head and
cutter. In the following formulas for determining this angle of inclination, for a given rise of cam & with
the machine geared for a certain lead, let.
† = Angle which index head and milling attachment are set;
r = Rise of cam in given part of circumference;
R =”Lead” of cam or rise if latter were continued at given rate for one complete revolution;
L = Spiral lead for which milling machine is geared;
N = Part of circumference in which rise is required, expressed as a decimal in hundredths of cam
circumference.
R R r
Sin † = And R = Hence, sin † =
L N NXL
For example suppose a cam is to be milled having a rise of 0.125” in 3000 or in 0.83 of the circumference,
and that the machine is geared for the smallest possible lead or 0.67” then:
r 0.125
Sin † = = = 0.2247
NXL 0.83 X 0.67
Which is approximately the
sine of 130 Therefore, to
secure a rise of 0.125 with
the machine geared for
0.67 lead the spiral head is
elevated to an angle of 130
and the vertical Milling
attachment is also swiveled
around to locate the cutter
in line with the spiral –
head spindle so that the
edge of the finished cam
will be parallel to its axis
of rotation.
When there are several lobes on a cam having different leads the machine can be geared for a lead
somewhat in excess of the greatest lead on the cam, and then all the lobs can be milled without changing
the spiral head gearing, by simply varying the angle of the spiral head & cutter to suit the different leads.
Whenever possible it is advisable to mill on the underside of the cam, as there is less interference from
chips; more-over it is easier to see any lines that may be laid out on the cam face. To set the cam for a new
cut it is first turned back by operating the handle of the table feed screw after which the index crank is
disengaged from the plate and turned the required amount.
23
The accompanying tables give the combinations of change gears and the angular
setting required for cutting a cam of any lead likely to be met within practice. The
figures in the column headed “ lead of cam,” represent the rise for one complete
revolution. Set the vertical attachment to the angle given in the table. For the
dividing head, subtract the angle in the table from 900; the difference is the angle
to which the spindle must be raised from the horizontal position.
Example: if the angle is 39.50 , set the spindle of the vertical attachment
39.50 from the vertical. Set the dividing head 50.50 from the horizontal
position (90 – 39.5 = 50.5).

Simple Method for Cutting Uniform Motion Cams
36
Simple, Compound, Differential & Block Indexing
Simple Indexing: - A general rule for determining the number of turns the crank of a
dividing head must make to obtain a given number of divisions is as follows: Divide the
number of turns required for one revolution of the dividing-head spindle by the number
of divisions into which the periphery of the work is to be divided.
Example: -If 40 turns of the index crank are required for one revolution of the
spindle, and 12 divisions are required, the number of turns of the index crank for each
indexing would equal 40 / 12 = 3 ѿ turns.
Compound Indexing: - This method is sometimes used to obtain divisions, which are
beyond the range of those secured by the simple method. The crank is first turned a
definite amount in the regular way then the index plate is also turned either in the
same or opposite direction in order to locate the index crank in the proper position.
Thus, there are two separate movements which are, in reality, two simple indexing
operations. The following rule is for determining what circles of holes can be used for
indexing by the compound method.
Rule: Resolve into its factors the number of divisions required. Then choose at random
two circles of holes, subtract one from the other, and factor the difference. Place the two
sets of factors thus obtained above a horizontal line. Next, factor the number of turns of
the crank required for one revolution of the spindle, and also the number of holes in each
of the chosen circles. Place the three sets of factors thus obtained below the horizontal
line. If all the factors above the line can be canceled by those below, the two circles
chosen will give the required number of divisions. If not, other circles must be chosen
and another trial made.
Example: - Assume that 69 divisions are required, and that circles having 33 and 23
holes are chosen for the first trial. Then, by applying the foregoing rule, it is found
that all the factors above the line cancel:
3 x 23 x 2 x 5 1
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 11 x 23
=
2 x 2 x 11
37
Milling Machine Indexing
* The indexing movements are exact for the divisions marked with an asterisk (*);
The errors of the other divisions are so slight as to be negligible for all ordinary classes of
work, such as gear cutting etc.
38
This shows that these circles can be used. The factors 2, 2 and 11 remain uncancelled
below the line. The amount the crank and index plate must be moved in their respective
circles is next determined by multiplying together all these uncanceled factors. Thus 2 X
2 X 11 = 44. This means that we can index is revolution by turning the crank forward 44
holes in the 23-hole circle, and the index plate backward 44 holes in the 33-hole circle.
The movement could also be forward 44 holes in the 33-hole circle and backward 44
holes in the 23-hole circle, without affecting the result. The movements obtained by the
foregoing rule are expressed in compound indexing tables in the form of fractions, as, for
example:
44 44
+
23
-
33
The numerators represent the number of holes indexed and the denominators the circles
used; the + and - signs show that the movements of the crank and index plate are opposite
in direction. These fractions can often be reduced and simplified, so that it will not be
necessary to move so many holes, by adding some number to them algebraically. The
number is chosen by trial, and its sign should be opposite that of the fraction to which it
is added. Suppose, for example, a fraction is added representing one complete turn, to
each of the fractions referred to; then there will be a movement Of 21 holes in the 23-hole
circle, and a movement of 11 holes in the opposite direction, in the 33-hole circle.
To Find Ratio of Gearing for Differential Indexing. - To find the gearing ratio for
differential indexing, first select some approximate number A of divisions either greater
or less than the required number N. To illustrate, if the required number N is 67, the
approximate number A might be 70; then if 40 turns of the index crank are required for
1 revolution of the spindle,
Gearing ratio R = (A - N) X 40
A
If the approximate number A is less than N, the formula is the same as above except
that A - N is replaced by N - A.
Example: Find the gearing ratio and indexing movement for 67 divisions. If A - 70,
40 12
Gearing Ratio = (70 – 67) = = Gear on spindle (driver)
70 7
Various combinations of gearing and index circles are possible for a given number of
divisions. The index movements and gear combinations in the accompanying table
apply to a given series of index circles and gear-tooth numbers. The approximate
number A upon which any combination is based may be determined by dividing 40 by
the fraction representing the indexing movement. For example, the approximate
number used for 109 divisions equals
6 16
40 divided by Or 40 X = 106 Ҁ
16 6
If this approximate number is inserted in the preceeding formula, it will be found that
the gear ratio is Ǭ as shown in the table.
By the fraction 40
A
For example, if 70 is the approximate number A used in calculating the gear ratio for 67
divisions, then, to find the required movement of the index crank, reduce 18 to any
fraction of equal value and having as denominator any number equal to the number of
holes available in an index circle. To illustrate,
40 4 12 Number of holes indexed
= or =
70 7 21 Number of holes in index circle
Use of Idler Gears. - In differential indexing, idler gears are used (1) to rotate the
index plate in the same direction as the index crank, thus increasing the actual indexing
movement, or (2) to rotate the index plate in the opposite direction, thus reducing the
actual indexing movement.
Case 1: If the approximate number A is greater than the actual number of divisions N,
simple gearing will require one idler, and compound gearing no idler. Index plate and
crank rotate in the same direction.
Case 2: If the approximate number A is less than the actual number of divisions N,
simple gearing requires two idlers, and compound gearing one idler. Index plate and
crank rotate in opposite directions.
40 4 4X1 32 28
Ratio = (100 – 99) X = = = X
100 10 5X2 40 56
These final numbers conform to available gear sizes. The gears having 32 and 28 teeth
are the drivers (gear on spindle and first gear on stud), and gears having 40 and 56 teeth
are driven (second gear on stud and gear on worm).
41
The indexing movement is represented by the fraction 40/100, which is reduced to 8/20, the
20-hole index circle being used in this case.
Example: Determine the gear combination to use for indexing 53 divisions. If 56 is used
as an approximate number (possibly after one or more trial solutions to find an
approximate number and resulting gear ratio coinciding with available gears).
40 15 3X5 72 X 42

The tooth numbers above the line represent gear on spindle and first gear on stud. The
numbers below the line represent second gear on stud and gear on worm.

In setting sector arms, do not count the hole containing the index crank pin.
To Check the Number of Divisions Obtained with a Given Gear Ratio and Index
Movement. - Invert the fraction representing the indexing movement and let C equal this
inverted fraction. R = gearing ratio.
Case 1: If simple gearing is used with one idler or compound gearing with no idler,
Number of divisions N = 40 C – RC
Case 2: If simple gearing is used with two idlers or compound gearing with one idler,
Number of divisions N = 40 C + RC
Example: The gear ratio is 12/7 there is simple gearing and one idler (Case 1),
and the indexing movement is 12/21 making the inverted fraction C = 21/12 find the
number of divisions N
21 12 21 21
N = 40 X - X = 70 - = 67

Example: The gear ratio is Ǭ two idlers are used with simple gearing (Case 2) and the

Block or Multiple Indexing for Gear Cutting
43
Block or Multiple Indexing for Gear Cutting
Block or Multiple Indexing for Gear Cutting -With the block system of indexing, a
number of teeth are indexed at one time, instead of cutting the teeth consecutively, and
the gear is revolved several times before the teeth are all finished. For example, when
cutting a gear having 25 teeth, the indexing mechanism is geared to index four teeth at
once (see table). The first time around, six widely separated tooth spaces are cut. The
second time around, the cutter is one tooth behind the spaces previously milled. On the
third indexing, the cutter has dropped back another tooth, thus finishing the gear (in this
case) by indexing it around four times. The various combinations of change gears to use
for block or multiple indexing are given in the accompanying table. The advantage
claimed for block indexing is that the heat generated by the cutter (especially when
cutting cast-iron gears of coarse pitch) is distributed more evenly about the rim and
dissipated to a greater extent, thus avoiding distortion due to local heating and permitting
higher speeds and feeds. The table given is intended for use with Brown & Sharpe
automatic gear-cutting machines, but the gears for any other machine equipped with a
similar indexing mechanism can be calculated. Assume, for example, that a gear cutter
requires the following change gears for indexing a certain number of teeth: Driving gears
having 20 and 30 teeth, respectively, and driven gears having 50 and 60 teeth. Then if it
is desired to cut, say, every fifth tooth, multiply the fractions
20 30 20 30 5 1
And By 5. Then, X X X
60 50 60 50 1 1
In this particular instance, then the blank could be divided so that every fifth space would
be cut, by using gears of equal size. The number of teeth in the gear and the number of
teeth indexed in each block must not have a, common factor.

Indexing for Rack Cutting -When racks are cut on a milling machine, there are two
general methods of indexing. One is by using the graduated dial on the feed-screw and
the other is by using an indexing attachment. The accompanying table shows the indexing
movements when the first method is employed. This table applies to milling machines
having feed-screws with the usual lead of ¼ inch and 250 dial graduations each
equivalent to 0.001 inch of table movement.
Linear pitch of rack
Actual rotation of feed screw =
Lead of feed-screw
Multiply decimal part of turn (obtained by above formula) by 250, to obtain dial reading
for fractional part of indexing movement, assuming that dial has 250 graduations.
Note: The linear pitch of the rack equals the circular pitch of gear or pinion, which
Is to mesh with the rack. The table gives both standard diametral pitches and their
equivalent linear or circular pitches.
Example. - Find indexing movement for cutting rack to mesh with a pinion of 10-
diametral pitch.
Indexing movement equals 1 whole turn of feed-screw plus 64.2 thousandths or divisions
on feed-screw dial. The feed-screw may be turned this fractional amount by setting dial
back to its zero position for each indexing (without backward movement of feed-screw),
or, if preferred, 64.2 (in this example) may be added to each successive dial position as
shown below.
Dial reading for second position = 64.2 X 2 = 128.4 (complete movement = 1 turn + 64.2
additional divisions by turning feed-screw until dial reading is 128-4).
Third dial position = 64.2 X 3 = 192.6 (complete movement = 1 turn + 64.2 additional
divisions by turning until dial reading is 192.6).
Fourth position = 64.2 X 4 - 250 = 6.8 (1 turn + 64.2 additional divisions by turning feed-
screw until dial reading is 6.8 divisions past the zero mark); or, to simplify operation, set
dial back to zero for fourth indexing (without moving feed-screw) and then repeat
settings for the three previous indexings or whatever number can be made before making
a complete turn of the dial. 45
