Description: |
Claim:
In the ordinary use of a shaping machine the carriage is fed, during an idle or non-cutting stroke of the ram. carrying the cutting tools, and this in either direction of carriage traverse. The feeding action, therefore, must be coordinately controlled with the movements of the ram, and the mechanism herein offers a quick and convenient change of the direction of carriage traverse without stopping the machine. The length of carriage traverse in either direction is micrometrically determined and regulated while the parts are in motion, so that the intermitting feed length can be varied with precision to set the cutting feed to that at which it is most suitable to the work machined. |
