| Description: |  | Pattison & Nesbitt - patent attorneys
My invention relates to improvements in machinery for centering, preparing and countersinking bars, studs and similar articles, previous to their being turned, more expeditiously, economically, and in a superior manner than at present. The objects of my invention are first, to fix the bars under treatment in a movable jawed chuck, on the end of a hollow rotating spindle of a fast headstock, secondly to cause the bar to be operated on to run truly, by means of a suitable rest, thirdly to drill the centers in the ends of such bars, studs and similar articles, by means of the point of a twist drill or a straight grooved, or spear shaped flat drill, and while the center is being drilled, to prepare or face the ends of such articles, by means of a fixed cutter; then to countersink the center by means of a smaller drill. |  |
