The accompanying cut shows one of the new machine tools recently brought out by the Baush Machine Tool Co., of Springfield, Mass.
It is a tool that demonstrates the advances which modern demands are making over old methods, as it is made to take the place of the regular upright drill with the added advantages of the radial arm and the tapping attachments, which, later being embodied as a part of the machine, can be operated without any delay for attachment, etc.
The table swings on the post, and can be swung out of the way, if work is too large or heavy for the table, as the saddle carrying the arm moves up and down on the post, it is not necessary to raise or lower the table.
Gear driven throughout with the back gears on the spindle, it makes it very positive and rigid, the gears being covered to avoid danger to the operator. Doing away with the countershaft, is another feature worthy of mention, as it does not require the wooden lever with its cumbersome looks, bother, and rattle.
It is self containing and does not need a special foundation, any solid floor being sufficient for it.
The general dimensions are as, follows: Will drill in the center of an 82-inch circle; bed. 89 inches long. 32 inches wide, 6½ inches thick: extreme height with arm and spindle up. 114 inches; the greatest distance from spindle to bed, 48 inches: to table, 24 inches; driving belt on cones, 3¼ inches; spindle, made of tool steel with No. 4 Morse taper. 2½ inches: largest diameter. 12 inches traverses, counter balanced with quick return; arm supported on roller and ball bearings, with locking devices; swinging table, 18 inches by 30 inches by 6 inches finished surface: weight. 4,200 pounds. |
