FAQs

What machines is this dividing attachment compatible with?

This dividing attachment is specifically designed for the Proxxon MICRO-milling machine MF 70 and the Proxxon MICRO-coordinate table KT 70.

What is the clamping range of the included chuck?

The chuck has reversible jaws with an inside clamping range of 1.5 to 32 mm and an outside clamping range of 12 to 65 mm.

Can I use this attachment for vertical milling operations?

Yes, the dividing apparatus is equipped with mounting holes for both horizontal and vertical mounting, allowing for versatile use.

How does the vernier scale help with precision?

The vernier scale allows for highly precise settings of the workpiece rotation, enabling accurate divisions and the creation of specific angles for milling operations.

What is the chuck passage diameter?

The chuck passage diameter is 11 mm.

Does this product come with the milling machine or table?

No, this is a dividing attachment only. It requires the Proxxon MF70 micromill and KT70 coordinate table to be used.

How should I clean and maintain the dividing attachment?

After use, clean off debris with a brush. Apply a light coat of oil to metal surfaces to prevent rust. Store in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Workpiece is not held securely

Ensure the chuck jaws are properly tightened. Check if the workpiece diameter falls within the specified clamping range (1.5-32mm inside / 12-65mm outside). Clean debris from the chuck mechanism.

Difficulty achieving precise divisions

Verify that the vernier scale is clean and readable. Ensure the dividing pin or lock is fully engaged before milling. Practice setting the desired angles accurately.

Attachment is wobbly or unstable

Confirm that the mounting screws and T-nuts are tightened securely to the machine table or base. Check for any damage or wear on the mounting surfaces.

Chuck passage obstructed

The chuck passage is 11mm. Ensure your workpiece or any fixtures do not exceed this diameter if passing through the center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your Proxxon MICRO-milling machine MF 70 and MICRO-coordinate table KT 70 are clean and ready.
  2. Attach the dividing attachment using the provided T-nuts and mounting screws onto the table or machine bed, depending on your setup and desired orientation (horizontal/vertical).
  3. Place your workpiece into the chuck and secure it using the reversible jaws. Adjust the jaws for the appropriate clamping range (1.5-32mm inside / 12-65mm outside).
  4. Familiarize yourself with the vernier scale for precise angle settings.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for Proxxon MICRO-milling machine MF 70.
  • Compatible with Proxxon MICRO-coordinate table KT 70.
  • Not designed for use with other brands or models of milling machines.

Care:

  • After use, clean any metal chips or debris from the chuck, base, and vernier scale.
  • Apply a light coat of machine oil to metal surfaces to prevent rust, especially if stored for extended periods.
  • Store the attachment in a clean, dry environment.
