Tools - Wheelcutting Milling and Drilling Spindle JMW 587

 

 

Illustration shows alternative Flywheel Pulley & Cutter Arbor.

 

A milling and drilling spindle converts the lathe into an extremely versatile machine. Many machining operations can be successfully carried out on components whilst they are still held in the chuck or collet, thus ensuring complete accuracy. Typical milling operations are keyways, squares or flats on shafts, also gear cutting and wheel and pinion cutting for clocks.

 

When used as a drilling spindle, holes can be accurately positioned, on Pitch Circle Diameters. The unit is fitted with two angular contact precision bearings which are pre-loaded and self adjusting for wear. The work spindle is bored No.1 Morse taper and supplied complete with drawbar.

 

Alternatively, the spindle can be machined to take 8mm standard collets at extra cost. A two step aluminium pulley is fitted as standard, but also available as an optional extra is a three step cast iron flywheel pulley, this is particularly advantageous when using multi-tooth cutters and gives improved finish on the work. Maximum recommended speed 8,500 r.p.m.

 

J.Malcolm Wild, F.B.H.I. also supplies an overhead drive kit suitable for driving the milling spindle. Division plates, division plate adaptors, wheel and pinion cutters. Contact us for details.

 

Additional items available

 

Finger Plate Clamp JMW 893

 

This tool is indispensable for holding small parts when drilling. It is essential when opening out the hole in the boss of clock hands.

 

Another useful feature is the vee groove for holding small arbors and shafts; this has a bush holder which enables cross holes to be drilled through the centre without difficulty.

Lathe Filing Rest JMW 954

 

The Lathe Filing Rest is an extremely useful addition to the lathe. Squares, hexagons and flats can be filed accurately on components turned in the lathe. It is particularly useful when making 'D' bits, Broaches, and can be used for the accurate shaping of cams on Model internal combustion engines.

 

A special feature is a simple jacking adjustment for tilting the rollers when filing winding squares on clock arbors. An additional set of Vee rollers JMW 955 are also available to guide the file or burnishers when finishing 45° shoulders on clock arbors. All the rollers are hardened and the knurled knob is graduated in .001" to give accurate height adjustment to the rollers.

 

The tool may also be used when burnishing parallel diameters by using only one roller to support the file/burnisher.

Pinion Head Depthing Tool JMW 942

 

This tool has recently been introduced for clock constructors and restorers to enable pinion heads to be depthed with their matching wheel before mounting on their respective arbors. It is extremely useful for depthing escapements, the adjusting screw giving extremely fine and accurate depths.

 

The tool has a ground steel body and is supplied with a cone runner and three additional runners with stepped diameters for varying pinion head bores. All have hardened points. Wheels of 61/2" diameter can easily be accommodated.
