The machine shown in Fig. 12, which is made by the Whitney Manufacturing Company, is supplied with a weight attachment which provides automatic vertical and horizontal feeds. The table is also provided with hand screw feed, for making long cuts, which obviously gives a smoother motion than the lever feed through rack and pinion and reduces the liability of cutters " gouging" into the work. These machines are excellent for taking short, rapid cuts, as when slitting small copper and brass work for electrical fittings, forming certain cash register details and other similar work that does not require a particularly high finish and which is of such a form as to be difficult to hold in string jigs. |
