Abstract
A machine tool including a bed for temporary attachment to a large size work piece for performing machining operations thereon. A carriage is slidably mounted on the bed ways and includes its own feed arrangement for movement of a carriage mounted column assembly. The column assembly in addition to moving along perpendicular axes may be positioned about its lengthwise axis. Entrained on column ways is a slide positioned by a column feed arrangement, the slide in turn rotatably supporting a powerhead assembly within which a cutter or boring tool is carried. Segmented locking rings permit locking of the column assembly slides in an adjusted position to permit universal presentation of the tool to a work piece. Brackets mount the tool bed in an upright position on the work piece.
Claims2
A multi-purpose machine tool for attachment to a work piece at a work site, said machine tool comprising in combination,
- a bed adapted for temporary attachment to a horizontal or inclined work piece surface and including ways and a feed arrangement,
- angular bracket means for attachment to said bed and to the work piece,
- a carriage also including ways and a feed arrangement and disposed transversely of said bed in sliding engagement with the bed ways for travel therealong, and
- a column assembly comprising,
- column slide means entrained on the carriage ways and positioned by the carriage feed,
- a column supported at one end by said slide means and including ways formed therealong,
- cooperating means on said column slide means and said one end of the column permitting rotational movement of the column about its major axis and subsequent locking of same against rotational movement,
- a column feed,
- a slide entrained on the column ways and positioned therealong by the column feed,
- a powerhead assembly carried by said slide adapted to receive a powered tool, and
- means mounting said powerhead to said slide permitting the powerhead assembly to be rotationally positioned and locked in place about an axis perpendicular to the column ways.
