Best Answer

The function of the dividing or indexing head is to equally space the required amount of grooves to be cut into a component. An example would be a gear or a shaft with a spline at the end. It can also be used for high precision drilling of holes. cutting hexagons or other shapes, etc. With the right attachments a dividing head can be connected to a universal milling machine's table screw, enabling it to rotate as the table moves along its sideways axis. This is useful for helical grooving of which a drill bit or helical gear are examples.

An almost similar device to a dividing head is a rotary table.

Why we don't use milling machine as driiling machine?

Although a milling machine is capable of drilling, it can be more productively achieved on a drill press or radial arm drill. Due to the complexity of the milling machine's function and the cost of its operation, it would not be feasible to use it for drilling. There are exceptions where using the milling machine for drilling a workpiece might be a better option.

Use of milling machine?

A milling machine is usually capable of cutting a wide variety of metals, ranging from aluminum to stainless steel. Depending on the material being cut, the machine can be set to move at a faster or slower pace. Softer materials are generally milled at higher speeds while harder materials usually require slower speeds. In addition, harder materials often require smaller amounts of material to be milled off at one time.
