ECLIPSE POWER HACK-SAW — The accompanying half-tone engraving. Fig. 1, illustrates a new power hack-saw brought out by the Eclipse Machine Co. Elmira, New York, and known as the Eclipse power hacksaw. An inspection of the general design of the machine plainly indicates that it .is a radical departure in its field. The design of the machine makes it possible to cut off stock with greater accuracy than is usually possible with a power hack-saw, it being possible to cut off stock within limits of variation of not more than 0.002 inch for a 4-inch bar; at the same time the machine permits unusually rapid operation. The particular value of the accuracy obtainable is evident, as it saves expense in truing up the faces of the stock, which is usually necessary when stock has been cut off by a hacksaw. As will be noticed in the half-tone. Fig. 1. the machine is provided with a stop device for setting the stock at any length desired to be cut off. This stop is automatic in its action, and requires a minimum amount of attention. An ordinary 20-inch hack-saw blade is used in the machine, and the stock is turned so as to always present to the saw an easy cutting surface, whereby the saw is saved, and therefore, lasts longer than is ordinarily the case. In the line engraving, Fig. 2, the construction of the patented chuck used in this machine for holding the material is illustrated. It is constructed on a rather novel principle, and will hold any size of round steel from 3/8 up to 6 inches in diameter, and square stock up to 4 inches in size. It is quickly operated with a single screw actuating device. The power required to run this machine does not exceed ½ HP. The weight of the machine is 650 pounds, and the floor space required is 4 by 2 feet. The selling agents are Manning, Maxwell and Moore, Inc, 85, 87,89 Liberty Street, New York, NY. |
