We illustrate herewith an improved mortiser especially designed for agricultural implement and wagon works. It is manufactured by the Egan Company, 194 to 214 West Front street, Cincinnati, 0., from whose catalog us the following detailed description is taken:
"The column is cast hollow and in one piece, with the loose and tight pulleys running between large journals. All the working parts are planed perfectly true, accurately fitted and gibbed, making it impossible to get out of line. The chisel mandrel is made of best cast steel, connected to one solid ram, working in planed ways, making it impossible for the mandrel to spring when mortising the hardest kind of wood at the full stroke. The patent radial slide attached to the connections and operated by the treadle is entirely new, and prevents the slightest jar on the foot, and consequently adds to both the speed and comfort of the operator. The patent reverse, which is a very ingenious device, is perfectly automatic, and is controlled by the treadle and chisel mandrel, reversing the chisel only when the treadle is released. The bed is compound for mortising all kinds of angle and straight work, and has an adjustable nut and clamp screw for clamping wide or narrow stuff, and is supplied with hooks for holding the stuff to the bed. The boring mandrel is connected to the machine, and furnish with a suitable lever and belt shifter to operate it An adjustable gauge-stop is also supplied to gauge the depth of boring to suit the chisel. For further information address the manufacturers as above." |
