Profile milling machine

An improved profile producing machine operable to machine a complete air foil from a workpiece utilizing a mechanism having means for rotating, traversing, and pivotally oscillating the workpiece over a milling cutter to form the air foil, the improvement comprising a plate cam disposed within said means for rotating, traversing and pivotally oscillating the workpiece to move in unison therewith and to impart the pivotally oscillating movement thereto;

• a cam follower disposed to engage said cam;
• and means for moving said cam follower in unison with the traversing movement of said means for rotating, traversing and pivotally oscillating the workpiece during the milling operation, whereby less expensive cams may be utilized to produce more uniform air foils.
