Milwaukee 9-Inch Shaper
The machine shown in the illustration is the Milwaukee 9-in. shaper which has recently been placed on the market by the Milwaukee Shaper Co., 1023 Cold Spring Ave., Milwaukee, Wis. This machine was designed for toolroom and similar work.
All iron castings used in the construction of the machine are said to contain 40 per cent of steel, and the base and frame are claimed to be ribbed sufficiently to resist all strains that they may be subjected to. The ram is designed for strength, wide bearings and V-shaped ribs, scraped to an accurate fit with the ram gibs, tending to eliminate vibration and make it easy to take up wear. The cross-rail has wide bearing surfaces, scraped to the bearings, and the apron is provided with a taper gib to take up wear in the cross-rail. The tool-head is graduated, swivels to an angle through an arc of 60 deg., and is provided with micrometer adjustment. The table is 83 in. long and 8 in. wide, and can be tilted 8 in. vertically to either side. The swivel vise has a graduated base, steel jaws, and an extra set of jaws for taper work. |
