The Fay Car Mortising, Recessing, and Boring Machine, shown in Fig. 1, is for mortising by a rotating cutter, as in heavy timbers. Both the cutting and the boring tools work iii a heavy spindle, which has an adjustable frame gibbed to a column for vertical movement. There is also a horizontal adjustment for governing the depth of the recesses, which are gauged by a suitable stop on the front of the frame. The weight of the frame is counterbalanced. The table bearing the timber to be mortised runs on large rollers, and has either hand or power feed, as desired; the power feed being used to feed from one mortise to the other, and the hand feed to work from one end of the mortise to the other. The table is made in sections, and may be of any length desired; the roller stands, being independent, may be set at any distance apart wished. The machine may have an auxiliary-boring machine at one side towards one end. This machine works with a utter which first bores its way into the side of the piece being mortised, and then, by cutting on its side, extends the hole to any desired length; making mortises having semicircular ends. They will, of course, work to any desired depth, making either a blind or a through mortise, as desired. |
