ACME ROD AND DOWEL
MACHINES.
The advantages claimed for these machines are, first, that they do very nice work, and second, on account of the cutters and feeding mechanism being adjustable, the user saves the cost of extra Head and Rolls for turning different sizes, as required on solid chuck machines.
The Cutter Head carries 4 cutters, which are adjustable and are set at a slight angle, thus securing a shearing cut. The Rod is supported within the Head by a projecting portion of the cutters. Sizes may be changed in a few moments; the adjustments are so simple that any bright boy can operate machine. The speed of Cutter Head should be 3500 to 4000 revolutions per minute.of speed, 12, 30 and 45 ft. per minute, according to size and quality of stock.
