HOUSING FOR CUTTER SPINDLE (Replaces Collet Housing B (Fig.36)

This housing allows for single lip cutters to be reground while held in their engraving or diesinking spindles.

Unclamp the screw H (Fig.36) and the handle C6 (Fig.36), and pull the collet housing from its slide. Insert the spindle housing into the slide. For grinding operations insert the spindle assembly containing the cutter into the locating fixture and clamp. The spindle is locked in the collet housing with a thumb screw.

Because the engraving and diesinking spindles are of different diameter several heads may be required. These would be matched to eliminate any inaccuracy when changing from one head to another.
