Abstract
A machine for engraving using a stylus-guided cutting head is disclosed in the present invention. The cutter's motion along three, mutually perpendicular axes is transmitted by air-supported bearings so that play and frictional losses are greatly reduced. This promotes ease of use and accuracy which is of importance when engraving small areas such as billiard cue stick handles and the like.
Claims2
A machine for accurately incising grooves and recesses in a working surface according to a design-bearing template utilizing air lubricated bearings to support motion of a motor driven milling tool in three,mutually perpendicular directions whereby dimensional fidelity of the design is transferred from said template to the working surface by virtue of the low friction conditions provided by the air lubrication.
