Abstract
An apparatus for resurfacing a pair of guide plugs includes a turntable rotatably mounted on a frame having cutting tools interacting with resurfaceable guide plugs mounted on a reciprocating slide assembly which includes a guide support block adapted for reciprocating motion with respect to the cutting tools. The block has a pair of saw guides selectively attached thereto so as to be parallel to each other so that parallelism is maintained during the resurfacing process.
Claims10
An apparatus for resurfacing a pair of guide pad plug surfaces comprising:
- a) a frame;
- b) a turntable having top and bottom surfaces, respectively, and rotatably mounted on said frame;
- c) a pair of cutting tools affixed opposite each other to said turntable so as to protrude slightly from said top and bottom surfaces, respectively;
- d) a slide bearing surface extending longitudinally along said frame toward said turntable;
- e) a sliding guide support block slideably interacting with said slide bearing surface;
- f) a pair of saw guides selectively attached to said sliding guide support block;
- and
- g) a drive mechanism for moving said sliding guide support block reciprocally along said slide bearing surface to bring said pair of saw guides into and out of engagement with said cutting tools.
An apparatus for resurfacing a pair of guide pad plug surfaces comprising:
- a) a frame;
- b) a turntable having top and bottom surfaces respectively and rotatably mounted on said frame;
- c) a pair of cutting tools affixed opposite each other to said turntable so as to protrude slightly from said top and bottom surfaces respectively;
- and
- d) a reciprocating slide assembly including a guide support block having a pair of saw guides supporting said guide pad surfaces selectively attached thereto so as to be parallel to each other and a slide bearing surface for supporting the reciprocating motion of said guide support block into engagement with said turntable.
An apparatus for resurfacing a pair of guide pad plug surfaces comprising:
- a) a frame;
- b) a turntable having at least one cutting tool mounted thereon;
- c) a slide bearing surface coupled to said frame and extending longitudinally along said frame toward said turntable;
- d) a sliding guide support block slideably interacting with said slide bearing surface and having a bottom contact portion having three bearing surface areas in contact with said slide bearing surface;
- e) at least one saw guide having a guide pad attached to said sliding guide support block positioned to engage said cutting tool as said guide support block moves along said bearing surface.
