Rh Face Milling Front of Grinding Machine Bed on a No. 3 B Heavy Plain Milling Machine

Jobs similar to this are done on the planer in many shops, but by setting the work up as shown, it is often possible to get a greater production from the milling machine.

The bed is lined up against a parallel inserted in one of the table T slots, so that there is no trouble lining up each successive casting. The saddle does not have to be readjusted for depth of cut each time. Straps at each end hold the piece on the table, and stops set in the table T slots prevent the tendency of the casting to slip, due to the action of the cutter.
