Index plate for dividing head
thingiverse
A dividing head index plate, utilized with subtractive techniques on milling machines and lathes, serves as a basis for varied hole combinations. To verify compatibility, measure the center hole's diameter and total dimensions. The rings of holes represent prime numbers (13-52). Gearing mechanisms allow division into any number of parts, such as creating N-tooth gears or cutting M faces on solids.
