Abstract
A table for use in working on a circularly arcuate component is disclosed. The table includes a base frame and a first work surface mounted to the base frame, the first work surface including at least one linearly slidable work section separable from a remaining portion of the first work surface. A fastener for holding a circularly arcuate component relative to the at least one linearly slidable work section is provided. A mount for mounting a machining tool for machining the circularly arcuate component or a circular component may also be provided.
Claims25
A table for use in working on a circularly arcuate component, the table comprising:
- a base frame;
- a first work surface mounted to the base frame, the first work surface including at least one linearly slidable work section separable from a remaining portion of the first work surface;
- and
- a fastener for holding a circularly arcuate component relative to the at least one linearly slidable work section.
A multiple use table for use in working on a circularly arcuate component, the table comprising:
- a base frame;
- a first work surface mounted to the base frame, the first work surface including a pair of opposing linearly slidable work sections, each work section including a fastener for holding a circularly arcuate component relative thereto,
- wherein the pair of linearly movable work sections are movable between a separated position in which each circularly arcuate component is separated from the other circularly arcuate component and a proximate position in which the circularly arcuate components form a circular component;
- and
- a mount for mounting a machining tool for machining one of the circularly arcuate component in the separated position and the circular component in the proximate position.
A multiple use table for use in working on a circularly arcuate component, the table comprising:
- a base frame;
- a first work surface mounted to the base frame, the first work surface including a pair of opposing linearly slidable work sections movable between a separated position and a proximate position in which each work section is in at least close proximity to the other work section;
- a fastener for holding a circularly arcuate component relative to the first work surface;
- a boring bar extending through the first work surface;
- a first bearing for the boring bar positioned below the first work surface and a second bearing for the boring bar positioned above the first work surface;
- and
- a rotation power source coupled to the boring bar.
