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.

What is the function of column on a milling machine?

The column on a milling machine serves as the main support structure, housing critical components such as the drive mechanism and motor. It provides stability and rigidity to the machine, ensuring precise milling operations.
