Horizontal Boring Machine.
A new and improved horizontal boring machine which has recently been put on the market by the Egan Company, 321-341 West Front street, Cincinnati, Ohio, is shown in Fig. 1 of the engravings. In its construction the frame is cast in one piece, thus giving it great solidity and strength. The table is raised and lowered by means of a handle which can be instantly removed. The face of the table is slotted and the fence can be set so as to bore miters or do any angle boring, routing and similar work. The mandrel is of stiff steel and the depth of hole to be bored can be regulated by a patent stop, the depth varying from 1/8 up to 12 inches. The treadle and weight work on a fine leverage and make a very quick run. The manufacturers state that the machine can be handled and changed so quickly as to render it adapted for all classes of ?work, and with either heavy or light bits. The machine here illustrated is one of the latest achievements of the large corps of experts which the company have had engaged for a year past in designing improvements in existing machines and evolving new ones. |
