The Morton Key-Way Cutter made by the Morton Manufacturing Co., of Muskegon, Mich., is shown in Fig. 1. One of the main features of this machine is the oscillating guide for cross-head, which oscillates from the center line of the main shaft, giving the tool a straight-drawing cut. By means of the adjusting-screw to the left, on front of table, the tool can be inclined forward or backward from a vertical position, whereby the machine may be set to cut a key-way, tapering either from the top or bottom, with the same side down. The stroke of the machine is adjusted, as is the stroke of a planer, by adjustable tappets. The guide for work consists of a plate, which fits in a groove at the top of the table, and has a projection on each side of the tool-bar which forms a guide to set work to, gauging by bore of pinion. The machine is made in different sizes, the one shown in the cut being known as the No. 6—24 machine. Its capacity ranges from the smallest key-ways to be cut up to one 2½ in. wide and 24 in. long. |
