The Rowley & Hcrmanee Molder—A 10-in. four-sided molder, shown in Fig. 2, and made by Rowley & Hermance, is one of a series of different sizes of the same class of machine, by the same makers. Its frame is heavy and cast in one piece, which makes it more rigid and steady as an inside molder. It has an outside bearing for the outer end of the top cutter-head shaft. There are two 5-in. feed rolls above, and two below. The gearing, which drives the lower rolls, is not affected by lowering the table to the full capacity of the machine. The feed works are started and stopped with a binder. The boxes supporting the main arbor are so arranged that the wear caused by the belt forcing the arbor toward the countershaft is confined to the bottom of the box and can be taken out by tightening the caps. The belts, which run the side heads, do not pull on the caps, which support them. The bottom and side heads arc adjustable both horizontally and vertically. |
