The Main Fra me

The first ess~ntial of any machine
is a solid and rigid foundation.

The frame ofthe Wadkio Spindle

is an unusually robust iron
cas ting-properly ribbed and
cross braced to secure maximum
rigidity. The Wadkin frame is
not skimped for metal. It weighs
around 600 lbs. (270 kilos.). Its
base, whilst designed to give
good foot room for all operations,
scats firmly on the ground.
1 BlatWcTeheSflbcoortdwt+w+RS4ow.a4ars(dcg,0Eeo)HsaN1oanGrrt4Lsg0.AhW3caNoo2oDm,7md3wW0oe0rs0ktinSgussMeacxhiRnHe1r3y5LtQdR
The main frame of the Wadkin Spindle, as
indeed every component casting built into a
Wadkin Spindle M oulder, is properly seasoned
before any machining operation is done.
This guarantees that the precision standards of
accuracy, secured by the use of the world's
finest machine tools, and expen engineering
craftsmen, are retained throughout the life of
the machine.

A ccurare machimng of the mair1frames is m sured OJ' the The 'Table and Fences
we of modem machine tools such as this Plano-Miller.
The table is an exceptionally heavy casting well
ribbed on the underside to give rigidity and
prevent distortion. It is made to a British
Standard specification grade of iron, well
controlled to give a close hard grain. It has
three removable rings to keep the opening as

They are locked by lever handles in any
desired position. They are quite inde-
pendent and provided with spigots which
fit into the dovetail grooves in the table
for ensuring that after an adjustment they
remain parallel with each other. Each
fence is fitted with a sliding front plate,
also precision ground, and each has a
number of drilled holes for fixing wood
fences when desired. Adjustable pressure
springs are p rovided.

Alternatively, horse-shoe fences, as illus-
trated on page 7, can be supplied in place
of the above. Where horse-shoe fences
arc to be used a plain ungrooved table
would be supplied.

After plalling, all tables are precision ground for perfect accuracy
