What makes a universal dividing head different from a plain dividing head?
It accepts all types of index plates
It can index by degrees as well as by inches
It is equipped with sector arms
Its spindle nose can be swung up 90°
It’s spindle nose can be swung up 90°
When you use a center in the dividing head spindle to hold a workpiece, you install the other center in the
Chuck
Footstock
Milling machine spindle
Vertical milling attachment
Footstock
When mounting work on the dividing head center, you assume a positive flow of power from the dividing head spindle to the workpiece by using a
Driver and milling machine dog
Faceplate and clamps
Faster transverse feed
Slower transverse feed
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
Driver

If you straddle mill a hexagonal workpiece, how many times must you position the work?
One
Two
Three
Six
Three
Why should you insert a cap into the opening of the dividing heads spindle?
To cut down on friction
To hold lubricant for the spindle
To hold the dividing head chuck
To keep chips out of the spindle
To keep chips out of the spindle
When using the direct indexing method, you should NOT
Count the zero hole
Disengage the worm and worm gear inside the dividing head
Insert the plunger Pin in one of the holes around the spindle nose
rotate the spindle nose
Count the zero hole
To use the plain indexing method, the worm and worm gearing in the dividing head must be
Disengaged
Engaged
Removed
Replaced
Engaged
When plain milling, which side of a hexagonal workpiece should you mill after taking the first cut?
The adjacent side facing the column
The adjacent side away from the column
The opposite side
You must straddle me hexagonal work pieces
The opposite side
The dividing head is useful for drilling holes
In a circle
And a straight line
And difficult to reach places
And work that must be held in a chuck
In a circle
