FAQs of Pentagon Semi Universal Dividing or Indexing Head Set model PBS1:

Q: How does the PBS1 Dividing Head Set achieve precise indexing during gear cutting and milling?

A: The PBS1 set uses precision gearing and a manual hand crank. Operators select the desired dividing plate holes and increment settings, allowing accurate workpiece rotation with an indexing accuracy of 40 seconds, essential for gear cutting, milling, and similar tasks.

Q: What is the maximum workpiece size that can be accommodated on the Pentagon PBS1?

A: This indexing head set can handle workpieces up to 180 mm in diameter and is compatible with up to 7-inch universal chucks or can be mounted using the supplied base plate, providing ample capacity for most workshop applications.

Q: When should I use the head swivel feature and how does it work?

A: The PBS1s head swivels from 0 to 90, making it advantageous for operations requiring angled cuts or drilling, such as helical milling. Simply adjust and lock the head to the desired angle before beginning machining for precise results.

Q: Where can the Pentagon PBS1 be mounted for operation?

A: This dividing head set features base slots designed for T-bolts, allowing secure fitment onto a machine bed. This makes it adaptable for mounting on milling, drilling, and grinding machines in different workshop environments.

Q: What process is involved in indexing workpieces with the PBS1?

A: Indexing involves mounting the workpiece using the chuck adapter or base plate, selecting the appropriate dividing plate and hole, and rotating the spindle manually with the hand crank and gear setup to the chosen increment for the next machining operation.

Q: How does manual control benefit users, and is the device computerized or automated?

A: The PBS1 operates with manual control via a hand crank and geared mechanism, offering silent, tactile feedback and operator-driven precision. It is not computerized or automatic, making it ideal for professionals who prefer manual adjustment and direct operation.

Q: What are the advantages of the high grade construction and finish on the PBS1?

A: Its robust cast iron and hardened steel construction ensure longevity and resistance to wear. The gloss enamel paint and ground finishing on critical surfaces deliver durability, stability, and smooth operation, making the indexing head reliable for repeated heavy-duty use.
