122 Milling Seat on Bottom of Bracket

The flat surface and V on a bracket can be milled in the manner shown in this cut. The bracket illustrated is of cast iron, and is clamped to the table by a bolt passing through a hole at the outer end of the casting, and a strap and bolt near the middle of the piece.

A 60° angular cutter is used and the table is fed longitudinally. A smaller cutter of the same angle can be used, but it will require several cuts to finish the piece.

This job, and others of a similar character, can also be done to good advantage on a vertical spindle milling machine or a horizontal machine fitted with a vertical spindle attachment.
