Wheelhead

Spindle is high speed steel, double taper design.   Hardened and ground and fit by hand scraping to 660 bronze, double taper bearings.  Spindle end-play is easily set by the adjusting nut and gap measured with a dial indicator set against Spindle face.  Spindle operation is accomplished by hydraulic pressure created by a thin film of oil applied by capillary action to the spindle and bearing surfaces.  The spindle therefore floats on the oil-film like a car hydroplaning on a wet road.  Wheelhead is liquid cooled.  Running temperature is typically 180 degrees.  The Wheelhead Page contains a list of New Wheelheads with their part numbers.  Wheelhead parts lists for any current head can be found on the Page for a specific Wheelhead.

Workhead

Workhead/Headstock spindle is designed to accept 3c, 4c or 5c collets, depending on machine model.  Nose of spindle is ground to a one degree taper, easily accepting the Dead Center Driver or any number of part chucking methods, including 3 jaw, 4 jaw, 6 jaw, magnetic chucks, face plates or fixtures.  Bearing design is same as Wheelhead assuring smooth and vibration dampening operation.  Attention to detail is assured when Headstock is paired and bored to tail.  After assembly, alignment is checked and hand scraped to meet ridged requirements, so critical to the roundness of ground parts.  Equipped with Centering collets and carbide tipped centers provides trouble free accuracy during dead center grinding applications.  The Workhead Page contains a list of New Workheads with their part numbers.  Workhead parts lists for any current Workhead can be found on the Page for a specific Workhead.

Tailstock

Is of plain design.  Spindle is extra long hardened and ground tool Steel.  Closely fitted to bore of Tail giving tremendous rigidity without loss of sensitivity to spindle.  Dust cap holds spring and can be adjusted for tension.  Hole through spindle for easy center knockout.  The Tailstock Page contains a list of New Tailstocks with their part numbers.  Parts lists for any current Tail can be found on the Page for a specific Tail.

Tables

Main Table is of V and Flat design and mated to the heavy base casting.  Stress is relieved by aging.  Hand scraping assures the precision needed to maintain accuracy down the length of a long part.  Scraper hills and valleys leave thousands of oil reservoirs  throughout the mating parts which translate to smooth vibration dampening service.  The Compensating table mounts atop the Main Table is also of V and Flat design, swiveling six degrees either side of center.  The Table Page contains a list of New Tables with their part numbers.  Parts lists for any current Table or Table Gearing  can be found on the Page for a specific Table.
