Description: |
Abstract:
My invention relates to milling-machines, with special reference to those having a horizontally-moving table upon which the work to be milled is chucked, and has for one of its leading objects to so set the milling-head and prov ide it with such means that it will have a universal movement in both a horizontal and vertical plane, whereby the work chucked upon the table and having a bevel or other angular surface may be operated upon at the different angles without rechucking the work upon the table or without providing other and special forms of cutters with angles especially adapted to attack the different angles of the work upon the table. A further purpose and thought is to adapt a milling-machine for cutting spiral grooves in drills, reamers, and that class of tools without swiveling or changing the position of the horizontally-moving table upon its base and have the work travel in the line of the cutters by arranging the cutters in the milling-head, whereby they will attack the work upon the horizontally-moving table at any angle.
Claim:
In a milling-machine, a supporting cross-rail, a saddle which is moved back and forth thereon, and an intermediate saddle which moves upon a horizontal curved line, combined with a bracket which is adapted to be revolved upon the saddle, and a spindle journaled in the bracket. |
