a typical application for a dividing head is the milling of a
gear
the index holes around the spindle of the dividing head are use in __ indexing
direct
if a dividing head has 24 holes around its spindle nose and you must cut four equally spaced notches in a workpiece how far must you rotate the spindle between cut
six holes
if a dividing head has a 40:1 gear ratio how many times must you turn the worm to move the spindle one-quarter of a complete revolution
10
how many crank turns are needed to index each of 12 equally spaced cuts on a workpiece?
3 1/3
suppose indexing a workpiece requires 4 turns of the index crank you will use a hole circle on the index plate with how many holes
20
on a dividing head with a 40:1 ratio one turn of the index crank move the spindle how many degrees
9
for simple angular indexing on a 40:1 dividing head you can use an index plate circle with how many holes
54
compound indexing differs from simple indexing in that you
turn the index plate itself
differential indexing is similar to but more accurate then ___ indexing
compound
what makes a universal dividing head different from a plain dividing head
its spindle nose can be swung 90 degrees
when you use a center on the dividing head spindle to hold a workpiece you install the other center in the
footstock
when mounting work on the dividing head center you assure a positive flow of power from the dividing head spindle to the workpiece by using a
driver and milling machine dog
when using a chuck to hold a workpiece on the dividing head you can give the workpiece extra support with a
steady rest
if you straddle mill a hexagonal workpiece how many times must you position the work
three
why should you insert a cap into the opening of the dividing head spindle
to keep chips out of the spindle
when using the direct indexing method you should not
count the zero hole
to use the plain indexing method the worm and worm gearing in the dividing head must be
engaged
when plain milling which side of a hexagonal workpiece should you mill after taking the first cut?
the opposite side
the dividing head is useful for drilling holes
in a circle
