200 Cutting Slots in Screw Machine Tool, Using Slotting Attachment

The screw machine tool is held by its shank in a vise, and the slotting attachment is set at an angle so as to give the proper clearance to the cutter that is intended for use in the slot. A hole is drilled for starting the slot.

In slotting work, all necessary movements of the table are made by the hand feed.

The swivel vise is very useful in connection with the slotting attachment, for the work can be swung to any angle or indexed, if it is desired to make a special shaped slot.
