The Ingersoll Milling Machine Co., of Rockford, Ill., are devoting their time exclusively to the type of machine illustrated, this being the smallest size of the slab milling machine which they build. Their years of experience with this line of machines prove that the necessary requisites for a slab milling machine are a powerful drive, and then plenty of metal so placed as to resist strains of the powerful drive.
The illustration shows their 20 inch by 7 foot slab milling machine. The spindle is worm driven, and has a long bearing in its saddle All adjustments of the machine are made by the levers shown in photograph on the operating side. The lever nearest the operator raises and lowers the saddles by power, carrying the spindle and arbor support. The second or middle lever is for the power adjustment of the table in either direction. The third lever is to move the outside housing back out of its bearings, carrying the arbor support saddle. By this arrangement the machine is easily made open side. This makes the machine almost universal, as it can be used for facing off the ends of long pieces, cutting off long bars and a variety of such other work. An idea of the rigidity and power of the machine can be imagined, when it is known that this machine will take a cut in cast iron 20 inches wide and ¼ of an inch deep, at the rate of 5 inches per minute. This is not the maxim strength of machine, but it is what it can be depended on to do in everyday work. We are also informed by the manufacturers that they are building various sizes of slab milling machines with horizontal or vertical spindles, or both, ranging in widths from 20 inches to 100 inches. |
