The accompanying Illustration shows the Quint upright 6-splndle Turret Drill Press attached to the Evans Cone Countershaft. It is a combination which has many points of merit, among which are the following:
Several drills, reamers, or counterbores may be fixed In their respective spindles, each with an independent drill-stop, which may be adjusted for various depths of holes, and all tools brought to same place in center of table, and drilling all holes to same alignment, with speed for drills varying from 250 to 8,000 revolutions per minute, which may be changed instantly to speed by the operator, without moving from his position at the drill table. The machine is especially adapted for gig drilling, and all work where there are several holes from 0 to ½ inch of different size in same piece of work. The advantages of the Quint Turret Drill Press over the Single Spindle Press is that it saves the waste of time In stopping the press and changing the tools. The advantage over the Gang Drills is that It is cheaper, lighter and easier to handle for the same class of work. The drills are up out of the way, and do not Interfere with any size of work, or drill gig, as is the case where drills are placed In a row. The Quint Drill Press also drills all holes in center of table, which is much better than to drill on edge of overhanging table, as is done with the Gang Drill. This machine Is the invention of a practical mechanic of twenty-five years' experience, who has tried, and we think succeeded, In making a drill press that will meet all demands for small work better than any press now on the market. — Mr. A. D. Quint, Hartford, Conn., Is the Inventor and manufacturer. |
