Milling Saddle of Vertical Spindle Milling Machine on a No. 5 B Heavy Plain Milling Machine

Milling machines are employed wherever possible in manufacturing parts of milling machines in our works. The operation above shows one example of this.

The width of cut on this saddle is 17 inches, and $3⁄16$ of an inch of stock is removed, making a heavy cut.

The work is held in a special fixture, as it can be more firmly clamped, and more quickly put in place and removed from the table.

All of the cutters have nicked teeth, and the larger ones have inserted teeth. It should also be noted that end thrust on the arbor is equalized by using cutters of both right and left-hand angle teeth.
