Pryibil’s Routing Machine
This machine is adapted to stereotypers', electrotypers' or engravers' use in cutting out the blank spaces in plates or blocks. To a corner of the table is bolted a flanged sleeve, acting as a bearing for both the upright shaft and the light but strong swinging cast-iron arm, which is connected by an universal joint to the lever carrying the spindle head and cutter, which through the motions of arm and lever can be readily moved in any direction, a rest at the edge of the table maintaining the lever always parallel therewith. A spring attachment for keeping the cutter off the work until depressed is furnished when ordered; but the solid rest is recommended as being the safer and more convenient.
The spindle pulley is fixed to a sleeve which runs in bearings provided with means for taking up the wear, and the spindle which runs at about 8,000 revolutions per minute has a vertical adjustment in the sleeve of If inches, enabling it to be used on either mounted or unmounted plates, an important advantage, as it is often found after mounting that plates have been insufficiently routed. For the same reason the clamps are made double faced and reversible, fitting both kinds of work. The table being unobstructed by rolls or supports of any kind for the cast-iron arm, with the exception of the sleeve bearing above mentioned, it will take on a plate 24 x 32, which can be completely routed without being shifted more than once.
The manufacturer of this machine is P. Pryibil, 461 West 40th St., New York. |
