-PRECISION LOCATING METHODS
-
-
-The degree of accuracy that is necessary in the construction of
-certain classes of machinery and tools, has made it necessary for
-toolmakers and machinists to employ various methods and appliances
-for locating holes or finished surfaces to given dimensions and
-within the prescribed limits of accuracy. In this treatise, various
-approved methods of locating work, such as are used more particularly
-in tool-rooms, are described and illustrated. These are not given, in
-every case, as being the best possible method under all conditions,
-because, as every mechanical man knows, the best way may be dependent
-upon the element of accuracy with little regard for the time required
-to do the work, or this order may be reversed; therefore, one method is
-seldom, if ever, the best under all circumstances, and it is necessary
-for the workman to consider the conditions in each case and then be
-guided by his judgment and experience in determining just how the work
-should be done.
-
-
-Button Method of Accurately Locating Work
-
-Among the different methods employed by toolmakers for accurately
-locating work such as jigs, etc., on the faceplate of a lathe, one of
-the most commonly used is known as the “button method.” This method is
-so named because cylindrical bushings or buttons are attached to the
-work in positions corresponding to the holes to be bored, after which
-they are used in locating the work. These buttons which are ordinarily
-about ½ or ⅝ inch in diameter, are ground and lapped to the same size,
-and the ends are finished perfectly square. The outside diameter
-should preferably be such that the radius can easily be determined,
-and the hole through the center should be about ⅛ inch larger than the
-retaining screw so that the button can be adjusted laterally.
-
-As a simple example of the practical application of the button method,
-suppose three holes are to be bored in a jig-plate according to the
-dimensions given in Fig. 1. A common method of procedure would be as
-follows: First lay out the centers of all holes to be bored, by the
-usual method. Mark these centers with a prick-punch and then drill
-holes for the machine screws which are used to clamp the buttons. After
-the buttons are clamped lightly in place, set them in correct relation
-with each other and with the jig-plate. The proper location of the
-buttons is very important, as their positions largely determine the
-accuracy of the work. The best method of locating a number of buttons
-depends, to some extent, upon their relative positions, the instruments
-available, and the accuracy required. When buttons must be located at
-given distances from the finished sides of a jig, a surface plate and
-vernier height gage are often used. The method is to place that side
-from which the button is to be set, upon an accurate surface plate and
-then set the button by means of the height gage, allowance being made,
-of course, for the radius of the button. The center-to-center distance
-between the different buttons can afterwards be verified by taking
-direct measurements with a micrometer.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 1. Simple Example of Work Illustrating Application
-of Button Method]
-
-Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate a method which requires only a micrometer. Two
-of the buttons are set at the correct distance from one edge of the
-plate by measuring from a parallel strip. Obviously, the micrometer
-reading will exceed the distance from the center of a button to the
-edge of the plate, by the amount equal to the thickness of the parallel
-strip plus the radius of the button. The center-to-center distance
-between each pair of buttons is also tested as indicated in Fig. 3, by
-measuring the overall distance and deducting the diameter of one button.
-
-After the buttons have been set and the screws are tightened, all
-measurements should be carefully checked. The work is then mounted
-on the faceplate of the lathe and one of the buttons is set true by
-the use of a test indicator as shown in Fig. 4. When the dial of the
-indicator ceases to vibrate, thus showing that the button runs true,
-the latter should be removed so that the hole can be drilled and bored
-to the required size. In a similar manner other buttons are indicated
-and the holes bored, one at a time. It is evident that if each button
-is correctly located and set perfectly true in the lathe, the various
-holes will be located the required distance apart within very close
-limits.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 2. Determining Distance from Button to Edge of
-Plate]
-
-Another example of work illustrating the application of the button
-method is shown in Fig. 5. The disk-shaped part illustrated is a flange
-templet which formed a part of a fixture for drilling holes in flanged
-plates, the holes being located on a circle 6 inches in diameter.
-It was necessary to space the six holes equi-distantly so that the
-holes in the flanges would match in any position, thus making them
-interchangeable. First a plug was turned so that it fitted snugly in
-the 1¼-inch central hole of the plate and projected above the top
-surface about ¾ inch. A center was located in this plug and from it
-a circle of three inches radius was drawn. This circle was divided
-into six equal parts and then small circles ⅝ inch in diameter were
-drawn to indicate the outside circumference of the bushings to be
-placed in the holes. These circles served as a guide when setting the
-button and enabled the work to be done much more quickly. The centers
-of the holes were next carefully prick-punched and small holes were
-drilled and tapped for No. 10 machine screws. After this the six
-buttons were attached in approximately the correct positions and the
-screws tightened enough to hold the buttons firmly, but allow them to
-be moved by tapping lightly. As the radius of the circle is 3 inches,
-the radius of the central plug, ⅝ inch, and that of each button, ⁵/₁₆
-inch, the distance from the outside of the central plug to the outside
-of any button, when correctly set, must be 3 ¹⁵/₁₆ inches. Since there
-are six buttons around the circle, the center-to-center distance is
-equal to the radius, and the distance between the outside or any two
-buttons should be 3⅝ inches. Having determined these dimensions, each
-button is set equi-distant from the central plug and the required
-distance apart, by using a micrometer. As each button is brought into
-its correct position, it should be tightened down a little so that it
-will be located firmly when finally set. The work is then strapped to
-the faceplate of a lathe and each button is indicated for boring the
-different holes by means of an indicator, as previously described. When
-the buttons are removed it will be found that in nearly all cases the
-small screw holes will not run exactly true; therefore, it is advisable
-to form a true starting point for the drill by using a lathe tool.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 3. Testing Location of Buttons]
-
-Fig. 7 shows a method of locating buttons from the finished sides of a
-plate, and this same plate with the five buttons attached is shown in
-Fig. 6. As the dimensions in Fig. 7 indicate, the holes must not only
-be accurate with relation to each other, but also with reference to
-the edges of the templet; therefore, it is necessary to work from the
-sides as well as the center. The width of the plate was first measured
-carefully and found to be 5 inches. As the center-to-center distance
-between buttons _B_ and _C_ and also buttons _D_ and _E_, is 2½ inches,
-the distance from the center of each outside button to the edge of the
-plate is 1¼ inch. A ¼-inch parallel was clamped against the side, as
-shown in the illustration, and then the distance from the outside of
-each button to the outside of the parallel (1 ¹³/₁₆ inch) was measured
-in conjunction with the distance _L_ from the central button. The
-distance _L_ was obtained by first determining the center-to-center
-distance _M_ which represents the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.
-
- _M_² = 1.25² + 1.625²
- ______________ _____
- or _M_ = √1.25² + 1.625² = √4.024 = 2.050 inches.
-
-Therefore, _L_ = 2.050 + 0.625 = 2.675 inches.
-
-In this case, the center button was first located correctly from the
-sides and end and then the other buttons were set. When doing precision
-work of this kind, the degree of accuracy obtained will depend upon
-the instruments used, the judgment and skill of the workman, and the
-care exercised. A good general rule to follow when locating bushings
-or buttons is to use the method which is the most direct and which
-requires the least number of measurements, in order to prevent an
-accumulation of errors.
-
-
-Locating Work by the Disk Method
-
-Comparatively small precision work is sometimes located by the disk
-method, which is the same in principle as the button method, the chief
-difference being that disks are used instead of buttons. These disks
-are made to such diameters that when their peripheries are in contact,
-each disk center will coincide with the position of the hole to be
-bored; the centers are then used for locating the work. To illustrate
-this method, suppose that the master-plate shown at the left in Fig. 8
-is to have three holes _a_, _b_, and _c_ bored into it, to the center
-distances given.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 4. Testing Concentricity of Button Preparatory to
-Boring Hole in Lathe]
-
-It is first necessary to determine the diameters of the disks. If
-the center distances between all the holes were equal, the diameters
-would, of course, equal this dimension. When, however, the distances
-between the centers are unequal, the diameters may be found as follows:
-Subtract, say, dimension _y_ from _x_, thus obtaining the difference
-between the radii of disks _C_ and _A_ (see right-hand sketch); add
-this difference to dimension _z_, and the result will be the diameter
-of disk _A_. Dividing this diameter by 2 gives the radius, which,
-subtracted from center distance _x_ equals the radius of _B_; similarly
-the radius of _B_ subtracted from dimension _y_ equals the radius of
-_C_.
-
-For example, 0.930-0.720 = 0.210 or the difference between the radii
-of disks _C_ and _A_. Then the diameter of _A_ = 0.210 + 0.860 = 1.070
-inch, and the radius equals 1.070 ÷ 2 = 0.535 inch. The radius of _B_ =
-0.930-0.535 = 0.395 inch and 0.395 × 2 = 0.790, or the diameter of _B_.
-The center distance 0.720-0.395 = 0.325, which is the radius of _C_;
-0.325 × 2 = 0.650 or the diameter of _C_.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 5. Flange Templet with Buttons Attached]
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 6. Hinge Jig Templet with Buttons Attached]
-
-After determining the diameters, the disks should be turned nearly to
-size and finished, preferably in a bench lathe. First insert a solder
-chuck in the spindle, face it perfectly true, and attach the disk by a
-few drops of solder, being careful to hold the work firmly against the
-chuck while soldering. Face the outer side and cut a sharp V-center
-in it; then grind the periphery to the required diameter. Next fasten
-the finished disks onto the work in their correct locations with their
-peripheries in contact, and then set one of the disks exactly central
-with the lathe spindle by applying a test indicator to the center in
-the disk. After removing the disk and boring the hole, the work is
-located for boring the other holes in the same manner.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 7. Hinge Jig Templet Illustrated in Fig. 6]
-
-Small disks may be secured to the work by means of jeweler’s wax.
-This is composed of common rosin and plaster of paris and is made as
-follows: Heat the rosin in a vessel until it flows freely, and then add
-plaster of paris and keep stirring the mixture. Care should be taken
-not to make the mixture too stiff. When it appears to have the proper
-consistency, pour some of it onto a slate or marble slab and allow it
-to cool; then insert the point of a knife under the flattened cake thus
-formed and try to pry it off. If it springs off with a slight metallic
-ring, the proportions are right, but if it is gummy and ductile,
-there is too much rosin. On the other hand, if it is too brittle and
-crumbles, this indicates that there is too much plaster of paris. The
-wax should be warmed before using. A mixture of beeswax and shellac, or
-beeswax and rosin in about equal proportions, is also used for holding
-disks in place. When the latter are fairly large, it may be advisable
-to secure them with small screws, provided the screw holes are not
-objectionable.
-
-
-Disk-and-Button Method of Locating Holes
-
-The accuracy of work done by the button method previously described
-is limited only by the skill and painstaking care of the workman,
-but setting the buttons requires a great deal of time. By a little
-modification, using what is sometimes called the “disk-and-button
-method,” a large part of this time can be saved without any sacrifice
-of accuracy. The disk-and-button method is extensively used in many
-shops. Buttons are used, but they are located in the centers of disks
-of whatever diameters are necessary to give the required locations.
-As three disks are used in each step of the process, it is sometimes
-called the “three-disk method.”
-
-To illustrate the practical application of this method, suppose six
-equally-spaced holes are to be located in the circumference of a
-circle six inches in diameter. To locate these, one needs, besides the
-buttons, three disks three inches in diameter, each having a central
-hole exactly fitting the buttons. It is best to have, also, a bushing
-of the same diameter as the buttons, which has a center-punch fitted
-to slide in it. First the center button is screwed to the templet, and
-one of the disks _A_, Fig. 9, is slipped over it; then a second disk
-_B_ carrying a bushing and center-punch is placed in contact with disk
-_A_ and a light blow on the punch marks the place to drill and tap for
-No. 2 button, which is kept in its proper place while tightening the
-screw by holding the two disks _A_ and _B_ in contact. Next the third
-disk _C_ is placed in contact with disks _A_ and _B_ and locates No. 3
-button, and so on until the seven buttons are secured in position. The
-templet is then ready to be strapped to the lathe faceplate for boring.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 8. An Example of Precision Work, and Method of
-Locating Holes by Use of Disks in Contact]
-
-Of course, it is not possible to use disks of “standard” sizes for
-many operations, but making a special disk is easy, and its cost
-is insignificant as compared with the time saved by its use. One
-who employs this method, especially if he also uses disks to lay
-out angles, soon accumulates a stock of various sizes. While it is
-desirable to have disks of tool steel, hardened and ground, or, in the
-larger sizes, of machine steel, case-hardened and ground, a disk for
-occasional use will be entirely satisfactory if left soft.
-
-Another example of work is shown in Fig. 10. This is a jig templet
-similar to the one illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7. Sketch _A_ gives its
-dimensions and sketch _B_ shows the disk-and-button way of locating the
-holes. A steel square is clamped with its stock against the right-hand
-edge of the templet and its blade extending across the top. The lower
-edge of the blade should be located 0.250 inch from the upper edge of
-the templet by the use of size blocks. A 2½-inch disk, touching both
-blade and stock, locates hole _C_. Another 2½-inch disk, touching the
-first disk and the square blade, locates hole _B_. Next a disk 1.600
-inch diameter is placed in contact with the two upper disks and
-locates the center hole _A_; and, finally, the disks for holes _B_ and
-_C_ are used to locate holes _D_ and _E_.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 9. Locating Holes on a Circle and Equi-distant by
-using Disks and Buttons in Combination]
-
-Two other jobs that illustrate this method may be of interest.
-The first one, shown in Fig. 11, required the locating of nine
-equally-spaced holes on a circumference of 7⅜ inches diameter. In any
-such case, the size of the smaller disks is found by multiplying the
-diameter of the circle upon which the centers of the disks are located
-by the sine of half the angle between two adjacent disks. The angle
-between the centers of adjacent disks equals 360 ÷ number of disks. 360
-÷ 9 = 40; hence, in this case, the diameter of the smaller disks equals
-7⅜ multiplied by the sine of 20 degrees, or 7⅜ × 0.34202 = 2.5224
-inches. 7⅜-2.5224 = 4.8526 inches, which is the diameter of the central
-disk.
-
-The templet shown in Fig. 12 required two holes on a circumference 6½
-inches diameter, with their centers 37 degrees 20 minutes apart. To
-find the diameter of the smaller disks, multiply the diameter of the
-large circle by the sine of one-half the required angle, as in the
-preceding example; thus 6½ × sin 18 degrees 40 minutes = 2.0804 inches,
-which is the diameter of the two smaller disks. The diameter of the
-larger disk equals 6½-2.0804 = 4.4196 inches.
-
-Very accurate results can be obtained by the disk-and-button method.
-Of course, absolute exactness is equally unattainable with buttons and
-a micrometer, or any other method; the micrometer does not show the
-slight inaccuracy in any one chordal measurement, while in using the
-disks the error is accumulative and the insertion of the last disk in
-the series shows the sum of the errors in all the disks. It is only in
-cases like the one illustrated in Fig. 9 that we note this, and then,
-though in correcting the error, we may change the diameter of the
-circle a very slight amount, an exceedingly accurate division of the
-circumference is secured.
-
-
-Use of Two- and Three-Diameter Disks
-
-Fig. 13 illustrates, on an enlarged scale, a piece of work requiring
-great accuracy, which was successfully handled by an extension of the
-three-disk method. Fourteen holes were required in a space hardly
-larger than a silver half-dollar, and, although the drawing gave
-dimensions from the center of the circle, the actual center could not
-be used in doing the work, as there was to be no hole there; moreover,
-a boss slightly off center prevented the use of a central disk, unless
-the bottom of the disk were bored out to receive this boss, which was
-not thought expedient. Hence, the method adopted was to make the plate
-thicker than the dimension given on the drawing, and then bore it out
-to leave a rim of definite diameter, this rim to be removed after it
-had served its purpose as a locating limit for the disks.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 10. (A) Layout of Jig-Plate. (B) Disk-and-Button
-Method of Locating Holes]
-
-As the holes _A_ and _B_, which were finished first, were 0.600 inch
-apart and 0.625 inch from the center, the rim was bored to 1.850 inch
-and two 0.600-inch disks, in contact with the rim and with each other,
-located these holes. As hole _C_ was to be equi-distant from holes
-_A_ and _B_, and its distance from the center was given, the size of
-the disk for this hole was readily determined. The disks for holes
-_A_, _B_ and _C_ have two diameters; the upper diameters are made to
-whatever size is required for locating the disks of adjacent holes, and
-they also form a hub which can be used when setting the disks with an
-indicator. Hole _D_ was 0.4219 inch from _B_, and calculations based
-on this dimension and its distance from the center showed that it was
-0.4375 inch from hole _C_.
-
-A “three-story” disk or button was made for hole _D_. The diameter of
-the large part was 0.46875 inch and it overlapped disks _C_ and _B_
-(the upper sections of which were made 0.375 inch and 0.4062 inch,
-respectively), thus locating _D_. Then hole _F_ and all the remaining
-holes were located in a similar manner. The upper diameters of disks
-_E_ and _D_ were used in locating disks for other adjacent holes,
-as well as a hub for the indicator; for instance, to locate a hole
-with reference to holes _C_ and _D_, the diameter of the new disk and
-the diameter of the upper part of disk _D_, were varied to give the
-required location. The relation between the disks _B_, _D_ and _F_ is
-shown by the side view.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 11. Example of Circular Spacing requiring a Large
-Central Disk]
-
-It had been decided that no screws should be used in attaching the
-buttons or disks to the work, as it was feared that the tapped holes
-would introduce inaccuracy by deflecting the boring-tools; therefore
-the following method was employed. After all the disks were fastened
-in place by clamps, a soft solder of low melting point was flowed
-about them, filling the work to the top of the rim. When the solder
-had cooled, the clamps were removed, the work transferred to the lathe
-faceplate, indicated in the usual way, and the holes bored by a “_D_”
-or “hog-nose” drill, guided by an axial hole in each disk, which had
-been provided for that purpose when the disks were made. It was thought
-that the unequal contraction of the solder and the plate in cooling
-might throw the holes “out of square;” however, careful measurements
-failed to show any appreciable lack of parallelism in test-bars
-inserted in the holes.

-
-Accurate Angular Measurements with Disks
-
-For setting up a piece of work on which a surface is to be planed or
-milled at an exact angle to a surface already finished, disks provide
-an accurate means of adjustment. One method of using disks for angular
-work is illustrated at _A_ in Fig. 14. Let us assume that the lower
-edge of plate shown is finished and that the upper edge is to be
-milled at an angle _a_ of 32 degrees with the lower edge. If the two
-disks _x_ and _y_ are to be used for locating the work, how far apart
-must they be set in order to locate it at the required angle? The
-center-to-center distance can be determined as follows: Subtract the
-radius of the larger disk from the radius of the smaller disk, and
-divide the difference by the sine of one-half the required angle.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 14. Obtaining Accurate Angular Measurements with
-Disks]
-
- _Example_: If the required angle _a_ is 32 degrees,
- the radius of the large disk, 2 inches, and the radius of the
- small disk, 1 inch, what is the center-to-center distance?
-
- The sine of one-half the required angle, or 16 degrees, is
- 0.27564. The difference between the radii of the disks equals
- 2 - 1 = 1, and 1 ÷ 0.27564 = 3.624 inches. Therefore, for an
- angle of 32 degrees, disks of the sizes given should be set so
- that the distance between their centers is 3.624 inches.
-
-Another method of accurately locating angular work is illustrated at
-_B_ in Fig. 14. In this case, two disks are also used, but they are
-placed in contact with each other and changes for different angles
-are obtained by varying the diameter of the larger disk. The smaller
-disk is a standard 1-inch size, such as is used for setting a 2-inch
-micrometer. By this method any angle up to about 40 degrees can be
-obtained within a very close limit of accuracy. The following rule may
-be used for determining the diameter of the larger disk, when both
-disks are in contact and the diameter of the small disk is known:
-
-Multiply twice the diameter of the small disk by the sine of one-half
-the required angle; divide this product by 1 minus the sine of one-half
-the required angle; add the quotient to the diameter of the small disk
-to obtain the diameter of the large disk.
-
- _Example_: The required angle a is 15 degrees.
- Find the diameter of the large disk to be in contact
- with the standard 1-inch reference disk.
-
- The sine of 7 degrees 30 minutes is 0.13053.
- Multiplying twice the diameter of the small disk
- by the sine of 7 degrees 30 minutes, we have
- 2 × 1 × 0.13053 = 0.26106. This product divided by
- 1 minus the sine of 7 degrees 30 minutes
-
- 0.26106
- = ——————————— = 3.002.
- 1 - 0.13053
-
- This quotient added to the diameter of the small
- disk equals 1 + 0.3002 = 1.3002 inch, which is the
- diameter of the large disk.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 15. Disk-and-Square Method of Accurately Setting
-Angular Work]
-
-The accompanying table gives the sizes of the larger disks to the
-nearest 0.0001 inch for whole degrees ranging from 5 to 40 degrees
-inclusive. Incidentally, the usefulness of these disks can be increased
-by stamping on each one its diameter and also the angle which it
-subtends when placed in contact with the standard 1-inch disk.

-Disk-and-Square Method of Determining Angles
-
-The method shown in Fig. 15 for determining angles for setting up
-work on a milling machine or planer, possesses several advantages. No
-expensive tools are required, the method can be applied quickly, and
-the results obtained are quite accurate enough for any but the most
-exacting requirements. As will be seen, an ordinary combination square
-is used in connection with a disk, the head of the square being set at
-different points on the blade according to the angle that is desired.
-Theoretically, a one-inch disk could be used for all angles from about
-6 degrees up to a right angle, but in practice it is more convenient
-and accurate to employ larger disks for the larger angles.
-
-The only inaccuracy resulting from this method is due to setting the
-square at the nearest “scale fraction” instead of at the exact point
-determined by calculation. This error is very small, however, and is
-negligible in practically all cases. The dimension _x_ required for any
-desired angle _a_ can be found by multiplying the radius of the disk,
-by the cotangent of one-half the desired angle, and adding to this
-product the radius of the disk.
-
- _Example_: The square blade is to be set to an
- angle of 15 degrees 10 minutes, using a 2-inch disk.
- At what distance _x_ (see Fig. 15) should the
- head of the square be set?
-
- Cot 7 degrees 35 minutes = 7.5113,
- and 7.5113 × 1 + 1 = 8.5113 inches.
-
- By setting the square to 8½ inches “full,” the
- blade would be set very close to the required angle
- of 15 degrees 10 minutes.
-
-Locating Work by means of Size Blocks
-
-The size-block method of locating a jig-plate or other part, in
-different positions on a lathe faceplate, for boring holes accurately
-at given center-to-center distances, is illustrated in Fig. 16. The way
-the size blocks are used in this particular instance is as follows: A
-pair of accurate parallels are attached to a faceplate at right angles
-to each other and they are so located that the center of one of the
-holes to be bored will coincide with the lathe spindle. The hole which
-is aligned in this way should be that one on the work which is nearest
-the outer corner, so that the remaining holes can be set in a central
-position by adjusting the work away from the parallels. After the
-first hole is bored, the work is located for boring each additional
-hole by placing size blocks of the required width between the edges of
-the work and the parallels. For instance, to set the plate for boring
-hole _D_, size blocks (or a combination of blocks or gages) equal in
-width to dimension _A_₁ would be inserted at _A_, and other blocks
-equal in width to dimension _B_₁ beneath the work as at _B_. As will be
-seen, the dimensions of these blocks equal the horizontal and vertical
-distances between holes _C_ and _D_. With the use of other combinations
-of gage blocks, any additional holes that might be required are located
-in the central position. While only two holes are shown in this case,
-it will be understood that the plate could be located accurately for
-boring almost any number of holes by this method.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 16. Method of setting Work on Faceplate with Size
-Blocks or Gages]
-
-Incidentally, such gages as the Johansson combination gages are
-particularly suited for work of this kind, as any dimension within
-the minimum and maximum limits of a set can be obtained by simply
-placing the required sizes together. Sometimes when such gages are not
-available, disks which have been ground to the required diameter are
-interposed between the parallels and the work for securing accurate
-locations. Another method of securing a positive adjustment of the
-work is to use parallels composed of two tapering sections, which
-can be adjusted to vary the width and be locked together by means of
-screws. Each half has the same taper so that outer edges are parallel
-for any position, and the width is measured by using a micrometer. The
-size-block method is usually applied to work having accurately machined
-edges, although a part having edges which are of a rough or irregular
-shape can be located by this method, if it is mounted on an auxiliary
-plate having accurately finished square edges. For instance, if holes
-were to be bored in the casting for a jig templet which had simply been
-planed on the top and bottom, the casting could be bolted to a finished
-plate having square edges and the latter be set in the different
-positions required, by means of size blocks. Comparatively large jig
-plates are sometimes located for boring in this way and the milling
-machine is often used instead of a lathe.
-
-
-The Master-plate Method
-
-When it is necessary to machine two or more plates so that they are
-duplicates as to the location of holes, circular recesses, etc., what
-is known as a master-plate is often used for locating the work on the
-lathe faceplate. This master-plate _M_ (see Fig. 17) contains holes
-which correspond to those wanted in the work, and which accurately fit
-a central plug _P_ in the lathe spindle, so that by engaging first one
-hole and then another with the plug, the work is accurately positioned
-for the various operations.
-
-When making the master-plate, great care should be taken to have the
-sides parallel and the holes at right angles to the sides, as well as
-accurately located with reference to one another. The various holes
-may be located with considerable precision by the use of buttons as
-previously described. Of course, it is necessary to have a hole in the
-master-plate for each different position in which the work will have to
-be placed on the faceplate; for example, if a circular recess _r_ were
-required, a hole _r_₁ exactly concentric with it would be needed in
-the master-plate. The method of holding the work and locating it with
-reference to the holes in the master-plate will depend largely on its
-shape. The cylindrical blank _B_ illustrated, is positioned by a recess
-in the master-plate in which it fits. The work is commonly held to the
-master-plate by means of clamps and tap bolts or by screws which pass
-through the work and into the master-plate. Solder is sometimes used
-when it is not convenient to hold the work by clamps or screws.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 17. Master-plate applied to a Bench Lathe Faceplate]
-
-The plug _P_ which locates the master-plate, is first turned to fit
-the spindle or collet of the lathe and the outer or projecting end
-is roughturned for the holes in the master-plate, which should all
-be finished to exactly the same diameter. The plug is then inserted
-in the spindle and ground and lapped to a close fit for the holes in
-the master-plate. The latter, with the work attached to it, is next
-clamped to the faceplate by the straps shown, which engage a groove
-around the edge of the master-plate. The first hole is finished by
-drilling to within, say, 0.005 or 0.006 inch of the size, and then
-boring practically to size, a very small amount being left for reaming
-or grinding. The remaining holes can then be finished in the same
-way, the work being positively located in each case by loosening the
-master-plate and engaging the proper hole in it with the central plug.
-It is apparent that by the use of this same master-plate, a number of
-pieces _B_ could be made which would be practically duplicates.
-
-The master-plate method of locating work can be applied in many
-different ways. It is used for making duplicate dies, for accurately
-locating the various holes in watch movements, and for many other
-operations requiring great precision. Master-plates are quite
-frequently used by toolmakers when it is necessary to produce a number
-of drill jigs which are to be used for drilling holes in different
-parts having the same relative locations, thus requiring jigs that are
-duplicates within very close limits.
-
-When a master-plate is required, that is to be used in making
-duplicates of an existing model, the holes are bored in the
-master-plate by reversing the process illustrated in Fig. 17. That is,
-the central plug _P_ is turned to fit the largest hole in the model and
-the latter with the attached master-plate blank is clamped to lathe
-faceplate. The first hole is then bored to within say 0.002 inch of the
-finish diameter, to allow for grinding, provided the master-plate is
-to be hardened. The central plug is then turned down to fit the next
-largest hole and the second hole is bored in the master-plate. This
-method is continued until all the holes are bored. In order to prevent
-any change in the position of the master-plate relative to the model,
-it may be secured by inserting dowel-pins through both parts, the work
-being held to the lathe faceplate by ordinary screw clamps. If the
-holes in the model do not extend clear through, a flat plate having
-parallel sides may be interposed between the model and master-plate to
-provide clearance between the two and prevent cutting into the model
-when boring the master-plate.

-CHAPTER II
-
-ACCURATE DIVIDING AND SPACING METHODS
-
-
-Toolmakers and machinists occasionally find it necessary to locate a
-number of equally-spaced holes on a straight line between two points,
-or to divide a circle with holes which are equi-distant within a very
-small limit of accuracy. Several dividing and spacing methods are
-described in this chapter; some of these methods can, with slight
-modification, be applied in various ways.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 18. Method of Drilling Small Equally-spaced Holes
-in Rows]
-
-
-Locating Small Equally-spaced Holes in Rows
-
-It is sometimes necessary to drill one or more rows of small
-equally-spaced holes. The best method of doing this work naturally
-depends, to some extent, upon the accuracy required, but even when a
-high degree of accuracy is not necessary, if an attempt is made to lay
-out the holes and drill them in the ordinary way, considerable time
-is usually required and the results are liable to be unsatisfactory.
-For example, suppose a row of holes ¹/₁₆ inch in diameter and ⅛ inch
-center-to-center distance were to be drilled in a flat plate. Some
-machinists would proceed by first scribing a center-line and then
-laying out the centers of the holes by means of dividers. A much easier
-and accurate method is illustrated in Fig. 18, and is as follows:
-Lay out the first hole and drill it; then secure a small piece of
-flat steel for a drill guide, drill a hole through it, bevel one
-corner and scribe a fine line on the beveled section, as shown in the
-illustration. Align the hole drilled in the guide with the hole in the
-work, by inserting a close-fitting plug, and clamp a scale against one
-edge of the drill guide so that one of the graduation marks exactly
-matches with the line on the guide. The edge of the scale must also be
-located parallel to the center-line of the row of holes to be drilled.
-Now proceed to drill the holes, setting the drill guide each time, to
-whatever graduation line represents the required spacing or pitch of
-the holes.
-
-It is advisable to use a magnifying glass to accurately align the
-graduation mark on the scale with the line on the drill guide. If two
-or more rows of holes are to be drilled parallel, the guide block can
-be drilled accordingly, so that the different rows of holes can be
-finished at the same time. The drill guide block should be relieved
-slightly in the center so as to insure the ends of the block bearing
-against the edge of the scale. A toolmaker or machinist can drill a row
-of holes accurately by this simple method, in the time required to lay
-them out in the usual way, and even though accuracy is not necessary,
-it is quicker to drill holes by this method than by the one more
-commonly employed.
-
-
-Use of Disks for Locating Equally-Spaced Holes
-
-A simple method of spacing holes that are to be drilled in a straight
-line is illustrated in Fig. 19. Two disks are made, each having a
-diameter equal to the center-to-center distance required between the
-holes. These disks must also have holes which are exactly central
-with the outside to act as a guide for the drill or reamer. The first
-two holes are drilled in the work while the disks are clamped so that
-they are in contact with each other and also with the straightedge as
-shown. One disk is then placed on the opposite side of the other, as
-indicated by the dotted line, and a third hole is drilled; this process
-of setting one disk against the opposite side of the other is continued
-until all the holes are drilled. When it is necessary to drill a
-parallel row of “staggered” holes, the second row can be located by
-placing disks of the proper size in contact with the first row of disks.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 19. Locating Equi-distant Holes in a Straight Line
-by Means of Disks and Straightedge]
-
-A method of using disks, which is preferable for very accurate work, is
-shown in Fig. 20. The disks are clamped against each other and along
-straightedge _A_ by the screws shown, and if the outside diameters are
-correct and the guide holes concentric with the outside, very accurate
-work can be done. With this device there may be as many disks as there
-are holes to be drilled, if the number of holes is comparatively small,
-but if it is necessary to drill a long row of holes, the disks and
-frame are shifted along an auxiliary straightedge _B_, the hole in one
-of the end disks being aligned with the last hole drilled by inserting
-a close-fitting plug through the disk and hole.
-
-
-Adjustable Jig for Accurate Hole Spacing
-
-An adjustable jig for accurately spacing small holes is shown in Fig.
-21.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 20. Special Disk-jig for Precision Drilling]
-
-This form is especially adapted for locating a number of equally
-spaced holes between two previously drilled or bored holes, and the
-accuracy of the method lies in the fact that a slight error in the
-original spacing of the guide bushing is multiplied, and, therefore,
-easily detected. There are two of these guide bushings _A_ and _B_
-which are carried by independent slides. These slides can be shifted
-along a dovetail groove after loosening the screws of clamp-gib _C_. To
-illustrate the method of using this jig, suppose five equally spaced
-holes are to be located between two holes that are 12 inches apart.
-As the center-to-center distance between adjacent holes is 2 inches,
-slides _A_ and _B_ would be set so that the dimension _x_ equals 2
-inches plus the radii of the bushings. A straightedge is then clamped
-to the work in such position that a close-fitting plug can be inserted
-through the end holes which were previously drilled or bored. Then with
-a plug inserted through, say, bushing _B_ and one of the end holes, the
-first hole is drilled and reamed through bushing _A_; the jig is then
-shifted to the left until the plug in _B_ enters the hole just made.
-The second hole is then drilled and reamed through bushing _A_ and
-this drilling and shifting of the jig is continued until the last hole
-is finished. The distance between the last hole and the original end
-hole at the left is next tested by attempting to insert close-fitting
-plugs through both bushings. Evidently, if there were any inaccuracy in
-the spacing of the bushings, this would be multiplied as many times as
-the jig was shifted, the error being accumulative. To illustrate how
-the error accumulates, suppose that the bushings were 0.001 inch too
-far apart; then the distance to the first hole would be 2.001 inch, to
-the second hole, 4.002 inch, and finally the distance from the first
-to the sixth hole would be 10.005 inches; consequently, the distance
-between the sixth and seventh holes would equal 12-10.005 = 1.995 inch,
-or 0.005 inch less than the required spacing, assuming, for the sake
-of illustration, that the first and last holes were exactly 12 inches
-apart. In case of an error of 0.005 inch, the bushings would be set
-closer together an amount equal to one-fifth of this error, as near as
-could be determined with a micrometer, and all of the holes would then
-be re-reamed.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 21. Adjustable Jig for Accurate Hole Spacing]
-
-
-Methods of Accurately Dividing a Circle
-
-Sometimes it is necessary to machine a number of holes in a plate so
-that all the holes are on a circle or equi-distant from a central
-point, and also the same distance apart, within very small limits. A
-simple method of spacing holes equally is illustrated at _A_, Fig.
-22. A number of buttons equal to the number of holes required are
-ground and lapped to exactly the same diameter, preferably by mounting
-them all on an arbor and finishing them at the same time. The ends
-should also be made square with the cylindrical surface of the button.
-When these buttons are finished, the diameter is carefully measured
-and this dimension is subtracted from the diameter of the circle on
-which the holes are to be located, in order to obtain the diameter
-_d_ (see illustration). A narrow shoulder is then turned on the plate
-to be bored, the diameter being made exactly equal to dimension
-_d_. By placing the buttons in contact with this shoulder, they are
-accurately located radially and can then be set equi-distant from
-each other by the use of a micrometer. In this particular case, it
-would be advisable to begin by setting the four buttons which are 90
-degrees apart and then the remaining four. The buttons are next used
-for setting the work preparatory to boring. (See “Button Method of
-Accurately Locating Work.”)
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 22. Four Methods of Accurately Dividing a Circle]
-
-
-Correcting Spacing Errors by Split Ring Method
-
-Another method of securing equal spacing for holes in indexing wheels,
-etc., is illustrated at _B_, Fig. 22. This method, however, is not to
-be recommended if the diameter of the circle on which the holes are
-to be located, must be very accurate. The disk or ring in which the
-holes are required, is formed of two sections _e_ and _f_, instead
-of being one solid piece. The centers for the holes are first laid
-out as accurately as possible on ring _e_. Parts _e_ and _f_ are then
-clamped together and the holes are drilled through these two sections.
-Obviously, when the holes are laid out and drilled in this way, there
-will be some error in the spacing, and, consequently, all of the holes
-would not match, except when plate _e_ is in the position it occupied
-when being drilled. Whatever errors may exist in the spacing can be
-eliminated, however, by successively shifting plate _e_ to different
-positions and re-reaming the holes for each position. A taper reamer
-is used and two pins should be provided having the same taper as the
-reamer. Ring _e_ is first located so that a hole is aligned quite
-accurately with one in the lower plate. The ring is then clamped and
-the hole is partly reamed, the reamer being inserted far enough to
-finish the hole in plate _e_ and also cut clear around in the upper
-part of plate _f_. One of the taper pins is then driven into this hole
-and then a hole on the opposite side is partly reamed, after which the
-other pin is inserted. The remaining holes are now reamed in the same
-way, and the reamer should be fed in to the same depth in each case. If
-a pair of holes is considerably out of alignment, it may be necessary
-to run the reamer in to a greater depth than was required for the first
-pair reamed, and in such a case all the holes should be re-reamed to
-secure a uniform size.
-
-The next step in this operation is to remove the taper pins and clamps
-or turn index plate _e_ one hole and again clamp it in position. The
-reaming process just described is then repeated; the holes on opposite
-sides of the plate are re-reamed somewhat deeper, the taper pins are
-inserted, and then all of the remaining holes are re-reamed to secure
-perfect alignment for the new position of the plate. By repeating this
-process of shifting plate _e_ and re-reaming the holes, whatever error
-that may have existed originally in the spacing of the holes, will
-practically be eliminated. It would be very difficult, however, to have
-these holes located with any great degree of accuracy, on a circle of
-given diameter.
-
-
-Circular Spacing by Contact of Uniform Disks
-
-When an accurate indexing or dividing wheel is required on a machine,
-the method of securing accurate divisions of the circle illustrated
-at _C_, Fig. 22, is sometimes employed. There is a series of circular
-disks or bushings equal in number to the divisions required, and these
-disks are all in contact with each other and with a circular boss or
-shoulder on the plate to which they are attached. The space between
-adjacent disks is used to accurately locate the dividing wheel,
-engagement being made with a suitable latch or indexing device. When
-making a dividing wheel of this kind, all of the disks are ground and
-lapped to the same diameter and then the diameter of the central boss
-or plate is gradually reduced until all of the disks are in contact
-with each other and with the boss. For an example of the practical
-application of this method see “Originating a Precision Dividing Wheel.”
-
-
-Spacing by Correcting the Accumulated Error
-
-Another indexing method of spacing holes equi-distant, is illustrated
-by the diagram at _D_, Fig. 22. An accurately fitting plug is inserted
-in the central hole of the plate in which holes are required. Two
-arms _h_ are closely fitted to this plug but are free to rotate
-and are provided with a fine-pitch screw and nut at the outer ends
-for adjusting the distance between the arms. Each arm contains an
-accurately made, hardened steel bushing _k_ located at the same radial
-distance from the center of the plate. These bushings are used as a
-guide for the drill and reamer when machining the holes in the plate.
-
-To determine the center-to-center distance between the bushings,
-divide 360 by twice the number of holes required; find the sine
-corresponding to the angle thus obtained, and multiply it by the
-diameter of the circle upon which the holes are located. For example,
-if there were to be eleven holes on a circle 8 inches in diameter, the
-distance between the centers of the bushings would equal
-
- 360
- ——————— = 16.36 degrees.
- 2 × 11
-
-The sine of 16.36 degrees is 0.2815, and 0.2815 × 8 = 2.252 inches. The
-arms are adjusted to locate the centers of the bushings this distance
-apart, by placing closely fitting plugs in the bushings and measuring
-from one plug to another with a micrometer or vernier caliper. Of
-course, when taking this measurement, allowance is made for the
-diameter of the plugs.
-
-After the arms are set, a hole is drilled and reamed; an accurately
-fitting plug is then inserted through the bushing and hole to secure
-the arms when drilling and reaming the adjacent hole. The radial arms
-are then indexed one hole so that the plug can be inserted through one
-of the arms and the last hole reamed. The third hole is then drilled
-and reamed, and this operation is repeated for all of the holes.
-Evidently, if the center-to-center distance between the bushings is
-not exactly right, the error will be indicated by the position of the
-arms relative to the last hole and the first one reamed; moreover,
-this error will be multiplied as many times as there are holes. For
-instance, if the arms were too far apart, the difference between
-the center-to-center distance of the last pair of holes and the
-center-to-center distance of the bushings in the arms, would equal, in
-this particular case, eight times the error, and the arms should be
-re-adjusted accordingly. Larger bushings would then be inserted in the
-arms and the holes re-reamed, this operation being repeated until the
-holes were all equi-distant.
-
-As will be seen, the value of this method lies in the fact that it
-shows the accumulated error. Thus, if the arms were 0.0005 inch too far
-apart, the difference between the first and last hole would equal 8 ×
-0.0005 = 0.004 inch. This same principle of dividing can be applied in
-various ways. For instance, the radial arms if slightly modified, could
-be used for drilling equally-spaced holes in the periphery or disk of a
-plate, or, if a suitable marking device were attached, a device of this
-kind could be used for accurately dividing circular parts.
-
-
-Originating a Precision Dividing Wheel
-
-There are various methods employed for making accurate indexing wheels
-for a definite number of divisions. One of these methods, suitable
-particularly for small numbers of divisions, employs a split wheel with
-a series of taper holes reamed through the two divisions. By shifting
-the two divisions from point to point (as explained in connection with
-sketch _B_, Fig. 22) and reaming and re-reaming the taper holes at each
-shifting, they may finally be brought very accurately into position.
-Another method that has been employed consists in clamping about the
-rim of the dividing wheel a number of precisely similar blocks, fitting
-close to each other and to the wheel itself. These blocks are then used
-for locating the wheel in each of its several positions in actual work.
-A third and simpler method (a modification of the one last described)
-consists in grinding a series of disks and clamping them around a
-rim of such diameter that the disks all touch each other and the rim
-simultaneously, as explained in connection with sketch _C_, Fig. 22.
-The wheel described in the following, which is illustrated in Fig. 23,
-was made in this way.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 23. Precision Dividing Wheel]
-
-Disks _A_ are clamped against an accurately ground face of the wheel
-_B_ and are supposed to just touch each other all around, and to be
-each of them in contact with the ground cylindrical surface at _x_.
-They are held in proper position by bolts _C_ and nuts _D_. The bolts
-fit loosely in the holes of the disks or bushings _A_ so that the
-latter are free to be located as may be desired with reference to the
-bolts.
-
-One or two improvements in the construction of this type of dividing
-wheel may be noted before proceeding to a description of the way in
-which it is made. For one thing, instead of having an indexing bolt
-enter the V-space between two adjoining disks, a smaller diameter _y_
-is ground on each of them, over which locking finger or pawl passes,
-holding the wheel firmly from movement in either direction. This
-construction has the advantage of a probable lessening of error by
-locating on each bushing instead of between two bushings; moreover, it
-gives a better holding surface and better holding angles than would be
-the case if this smaller diameter were not provided.
-
-A second improvement lies in the method of clamping the bushings _A_ in
-place. Instead of providing each bolt with a separate washer, a ring
-_F_ is used. This ring fits closely on a seat turned to receive it on
-the dividing wheel _B_. When one bushing _A_ has been clamped in place,
-the disk is locked from movement so that there is no possibility, in
-clamping the remaining bushings, of having their location disturbed in
-the slightest degree by the turning of the nuts in fastening them in
-place.
-
-The bushings _A_, of which there were in this case 24, were all ground
-exactly to the required diameters on their locating and locking
-surfaces. The important things in this operation are, first, that the
-large or locating diameter of the bushing should be exactly to size;
-and second, that this surface should be in exact alignment with the
-diameter in which the locking is done; and, finally, that the face of
-the bushing should be squared with the cylindrical surfaces. A refined
-exactness for the diameter of the locking surfaces is not so important,
-as the form of locking device provided allows slight variations at this
-point without impairment of accuracy. This dimension was kept within
-very close limits, however. The truth of the two cylindrical surfaces
-and the face of the bushing was assured by finishing all these surfaces
-in one operation on the grinding machine.
-
-The sizing of the outer diameter of the bushing, which was 1.158 inch,
-must be done so accurately that it was not thought wise to trust to
-the ordinary micrometer caliper. An indexing device was therefore made
-having a calipering lever with a long end, in the ratio of 10 to 1,
-which actuated the plunger of a dial test indicator of the well-known
-type made by the Waltham Watch Tool Co. The thousandth graduations
-on the dial of this indicator would then read in ten-thousandths,
-permitting readings to be taken to one-half or one-quarter of this
-amount. The final measurements with this device were all taken after
-dipping the bushings in water of a certain temperature, long enough to
-give assurance that this temperature was universal in all the parts
-measured. It will be understood, of course, in this connection, that
-getting the diameter of these bushings absolutely to 1.158 inch was
-not so important as getting them all exactly alike, whether slightly
-over or slightly under this dimension; hence, the precaution taken in
-measurement.
-
-Wheel _B_ was next ground down nearly to size, great care being taken
-that it should run exactly concentric with the axis. As soon as
-the diameter of the surface _x_ was brought nearly to the required
-dimension as obtained by calculation, the disks were tried in place.
-The first one was put in position with its loose hole central on the
-bolt and clamped in place under ring _F_. The next bushing was then
-pressed up against it and against the surface _x_ of the wheel and
-clamped in place. The third one was similarly clamped in contact with
-its neighboring bushing and the wheel, and so on, until the whole
-circle was completed. It was then found that the last disk would not
-fill the remaining space. This required the grinding off of some stock
-from surface _x_, and a repetition of the fitting of the bushings _A_
-until they exactly filled the space provided for them.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 24. Precision Dividing Wheel and its Indexing
-Mechanism]
-
-This operation required, of course, considerably more skill than a
-simple description of the job would indicate. One of the points that
-had to be carefully looked out for was the cleaning of all the surfaces
-in contact. A bit of dust or lint on one of the surfaces would throw
-the fitting entirely out. The temperature of the parts was another
-important consideration. As an evidence of the accuracy with which the
-work was done, it might be mentioned that it was found impossible to
-do this fitting on a bench on the southern or sunny side of the shop,
-the variations of temperature between morning and noon, and between
-bright sunshine and passing clouds, being such that the disks would
-not fit uniformly. The variation from these minute temperature changes
-resulted from the different coefficients of expansion of the iron
-wheel and the steel bushings. The obvious thing to do would be to build
-a room for this work kept at a constant temperature and preferably that
-of the body, so that the heat of the body would make no difference in
-the results. It was found sufficient in this case, however, to do the
-work on the northern side of the shop where the temperature was more
-nearly constant, not being affected by variations in sunshine.
-
-The dividing wheel, the construction of which has just been described,
-was made by the Fellows Gear Shaper Co. It is used for indexing the
-Fellows gear cutters in the machine in which the teeth are ground. The
-indexing mechanism of this machine is shown in Fig. 24. It is operated
-by a handle or lever pinned to rock-shaft _H_, to which is keyed arm
-_J_. Pivoted to _J_ is a pawl _K_ engaging the teeth of ratchet _L_,
-which revolves loosely on shaft _H_. This ratchet _L_ controls the
-movement of locking finger _E_. The parts are shown in their normal or
-locked position in the engraving.
-
-As the handle on shaft _H_ is pulled in the direction indicated by the
-arrow, arm _J_ is raised, carrying the ratchet wheel around to the
-right. This allows flat spring _M_ to drop off of the ratchet tooth,
-permitting helical spring _O_ to raise latch _E_ and thus leave the
-wheel free. The continued movement of the hand-lever and of rock-shaft
-_H_, by means of gear _N_, intermediate pinion _P_ and gear _Q_, causes
-the indexing pawl _R_, which is pivoted to gear _Q_ and acts on the
-head of one of the bolts _C_ (see Fig. 23), to index the wheel one
-step. Just before reaching its new location the new tooth of ratchet
-wheel _L_ coming up, bears down on the top of spring _M_, pressing
-latch _E_ into place against the tension of coil spring _O_. By this
-means the wheel is locked in position.
-
-When the operator pushes the handle on shaft _H_ back again to its
-position of rest, the pawl _R_ is retracted into position to act on the
-next bolt head for the next indexing. Star-wheel _L_ remains stationary
-on this backward movement, being prevented from revolving by the notch
-on the top of the tooth into which spring _M_ fits. Pawl _K_ on its
-return engages with the next tooth of this wheel, ready for the next
-indexing operation.
-
-A slight rotary adjustment of dividing wheel _B_, independent of this
-indexing mechanism, is required for the feeding of the machine. This
-is accomplished by the end movement of latch _E_, which is pivoted in
-slide _S_. This slide is pressed to the right by spring plunger _T_,
-and is adjusted positively in the other direction by feed-screw _U_,
-which is finely graduated to permit accurate adjustment. The accuracy
-in indexing obtained by the use of a wheel thus made was required to
-bring the finished cutters within the very narrow limits allowed for
-them in the final inspection.

-
-LOCATING WORK FOR BORING ON MILLING MACHINE
-
-
-It is often desirable to perform boring operations on the milling
-machine, particularly in connection with jig work. Large jigs, which
-because of their size or shape could not be conveniently handled in
-the lathe, and also a variety of smaller work, can often be bored
-to advantage on the milling machine. When such a machine is in good
-condition, the necessary adjustments of the work in both vertical and
-horizontal planes, can be made with considerable accuracy by the direct
-use of the graduated feed-screw dials. It is good practice, however,
-when making adjustments in this way, to check the accuracy of the
-setting by measuring the center distances between the holes directly.
-For the purpose of obtaining fine adjustments when boring on the
-milling machine, the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. makes special scales
-and verniers that are attached to milling machines, so that the table
-may be set by direct measurement. By attaching a scale and vernier to
-the table and saddle, respectively, and a second scale to the column
-with a vernier on the knee, both longitudinal and vertical measurements
-can be made quickly and accurately, and the chance of error resulting
-from inaccuracy of the screw, or from lost motion between the screw and
-nut, is eliminated.
-
-
-Checking Location of Holes by Micrometer-and-plug Method
-
-One method of checking the accuracy of the location of holes bored in
-the milling machine, is to insert closely fitting ground plugs into
-the bored holes and then determine the center-to-center distance by
-taking a direct measurement across the plugs with a micrometer or
-vernier caliper. For example, if holes were to be bored in a jig-plate,
-as shown in Fig. 1, assuming that hole _A_ were finished first, the
-platen would then be moved two inches, as shown by the feed dial; hole
-_B_ would then be bored slightly under size. Plugs should then be
-accurately fitted to these holes, having projecting ends, preferably of
-the same size. By measuring from one of these plugs to the other with a
-vernier or micrometer caliper, the center distance between them can be
-accurately determined, allowance being made, of course, for the radii
-of each plug. If this distance is incorrect, the work can be adjusted
-before finishing _B_ to size, by using the feed-screw dial. After hole
-_B_ is finished, the knee could be dropped 1.5 inch, as shown by the
-vertical feed dial, and hole _C_ bored slightly under size; then by the
-use of plugs, as before, the location of this hole could be tested by
-measuring center distances between _C-B_ and _C-A_.
-
-An example of work requiring the micrometer-and-plug test, is shown
-set up in the milling machine in Fig. 25. The large circular plate
-shown has a central hole and it was necessary to bore the outer holes
-in correct relation with the center hole within a limit of 0.0005 inch.
-The center hole was first bored and reamed to size; then an accurately
-fitting plug was inserted and the distances to all the other holes
-were checked by measuring from this plug. This method of testing with
-the plugs is intended to prevent errors which might occur because of
-wear in the feed-screws or nuts, that would cause the graduated dials
-to give an incorrect reading. On some jig work, sufficient accuracy
-could be obtained by using the feed-screw dials alone, that is, without
-testing with the plugs, in which case the accuracy would naturally
-depend largely on the condition of the machine.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 25. Example of Precision Boring on Milling Machine]
-
-A method that is a modification of the one in which plugs are used
-to test the center distance is as follows: All the holes are first
-drilled with suitable allowance for boring, the location being obtained
-directly by the feed-screw dials. A special boring-tool, the end of
-which is ground true with the shank, is then inserted in the spindle
-and the first hole, as at _A_ in Fig. 1 is finished, after which
-the platen is adjusted for hole _B_ by using the dial as before. A
-close-fitting plug is then inserted in hole _A_ and the accuracy of the
-setting is obtained by measuring the distance between this plug and the
-end of the boring-tool, which is a combination tool and test plug. In
-a similar manner, the tool is moved from one position to another, and,
-as all the holes have been previously drilled, all are bored without
-removing the tool from the spindle.
-
-Another modification of the micrometer-and-plug method is illustrated
-in Figs. 26 and 27. It is assumed that the plate to be bored is
-finished on the edges, and that it is fastened to an angle-plate, which
-is secured to the table of the milling machine and set square with the
-spindle. A piece of cold-rolled steel or brass is first fastened in the
-chuck (which is mounted on the spindle) and turned off to any diameter.
-This diameter should preferably be an even number of thousandths, to
-make the calculations which are to follow easier. The turning can be
-done either by holding the tool in the milling machine vise, or by
-securing it to the table with clamps. In either case, the tool should
-be located near the end of the table, so as to be out of the way when
-not in use.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 26. Obtaining Vertical Adjustment by Means of Depth
-Gage and turned Plug in Chuck]
-
-After the piece in the chuck is trued, the table and knee are adjusted
-until the center of the spindle is in alignment with the center of the
-first hole to be machined. This setting of the jig-plate is effected
-by measuring with a micrometer depth gage from the top and sides of
-the work, to the turned plug, as illustrated in Fig. 26. When taking
-these measurements, the radius of the plug in the chuck is, of course,
-deducted. When the plate is set the plug is removed from the chuck
-and the first hole drilled and bored or reamed to its proper size. We
-shall assume that the holes are to be located as shown by the detail
-view, Fig. 26, and that hole _A_ is the first one bored. The plug is
-then again inserted in the chuck and trued with the tool, after which
-it is set opposite the place where the second hole _B_ is to be bored;
-this is done by inserting an accurately fitting plug in hole _A_ and
-measuring from this plug to the turned piece in the chuck, with an
-outside micrometer as indicated in Fig. 27. Allowance is, of course,
-again made for the radii of the two plugs. The horizontal measurement
-can be taken from the side of the work with a depth gage as before. The
-plug is then removed and the hole drilled and bored to the proper size.
-The plug is again inserted in the chuck and turned true; the table is
-then moved vertically to a position midway between _A_ and _B_, and
-then horizontally to the proper position for hole _C_, as indicated by
-the depth gage from the side of the work. The location can be verified
-by measuring the center distances _x_ with the micrometer. In a similar
-manner holes _D_, _E_, _F_ and _G_ are accurately located.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 27. Adjusting for Center-to-center Distance by use
-of Plugs and Micrometer]
-
-If the proper allowances are made for the variation in the size of the
-plug, which, of course, is made smaller each time it is trued, and if
-no mistakes are made in the calculations, this method is very accurate.
-Care should be taken to have the gibs on all sides fairly tight at the
-beginning, and these should not be tightened after each consecutive
-alignment, as this generally throws the work out a few thousandths.
-If the reductions in the size of the plug, each time it is turned,
-are confusing, new plugs can be used each time a test is made, or the
-end of the original plug can be cut off so that it can be turned to
-the same diameter for every test. If the center distances _x_ are not
-given, it is, of course, far more convenient to make all the geometric
-calculations before starting to work.
-
-
-The Button-and-plug Method
-
-The use of the button method as applied to the milling machine, is
-illustrated in Fig. 28, where a plain jig-plate is shown set up for
-boring. The jig, with buttons _B_ accurately located in positions
-corresponding to the holes to be bored, is clamped to the angle-plate
-_A_ that is set at right angles to the spindle. Inserted in the spindle
-there is a plug _P_, the end of which is ground to the exact size of
-the indicating buttons. A sliding sleeve _S_ is accurately fitted
-to this plug and when the work is to be set for boring a hole, the
-table and knee of the machine are adjusted until the sleeve _S_ will
-pass over the button representing the location of the hole, which
-brings the button and spindle into alignment. When setting the button
-in alignment, all lost motion or backlash should be taken up in the
-feed-screws. For instance, if the button on the jig should be a little
-higher than the plug in the spindle, do not lower the knee until the
-bushing slips over the button, but lower the knee more than is required
-and then raise it until the bushing will pass over the button. This
-same rule should be followed for longitudinal adjustments.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 28. Accurate Method of Aligning Spindle with Button
-on Jig-Plate]
-
-After the button is set by this method, it is removed and the plug in
-the spindle is replaced by a drill and then by a boring-tool or reamer
-for finishing the hole to size. In a similar manner the work is set for
-the remaining holes. The plug _P_ for the spindle must be accurately
-made so that the outer end is concentric with the shank, and the latter
-should always be inserted in the spindle in the same relative position.
-With a reasonable degree of care, work can be set with considerable
-precision by this method, providing, of course, the buttons are
-properly set.
-
-Some toolmakers use, instead of the plug and sleeve referred to, a test
-indicator for setting the buttons concentric with the machine spindle.
-This indicator is attached to and revolves with the spindle, while the
-point is brought into contact with the button to be set. The difficulty
-of seeing the pointer as it turns is a disadvantage, but with care
-accurate results can be obtained.
-
-
-Size Block and Gage Method
-
-Another method which can at times be employed for accurately locating
-a jig-plate in different positions on an angle-plate, is shown in
-Fig. 29. The angle-plate is, of course, set at right angles to the
-spindle and depth gages and size blocks are used for measuring directly
-the amount of adjustment. Both the angle-plate and work should have
-finished surfaces on two sides at right angles to each other, from
-which measurements can be taken. After the first hole has been bored,
-the plate is adjusted the required distance both horizontally and
-vertically, by using micrometer depth gages, which should preferably be
-clamped to the angle-plate. If the capacity of the gages is exceeded,
-measurements may be taken by using standard size blocks in conjunction
-with the depth gages.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 29. Locating Work from Edges of Angle-Plate by
-means of Depth Gages and Size Blocks]
-
-It is frequently necessary to bore holes in cast jig-plates or machine
-parts, which either have irregularly shaped or unfinished edges. A good
-method of locating such work is illustrated in Fig. 30. The part to be
-bored is attached to an auxiliary plate _A_ which should have parallel
-sides and at least two edges which are straight and at right angles
-to each other. This auxiliary plate with the work, is clamped against
-an accurate angle-plate _B_, which should be set square with the axis
-of the machine spindle. A parallel strip is bolted to the angle-plate
-and the inner edge is set square with the machine table. After the
-first hole is bored, the work is located for boring the other to the
-edge of the auxiliary plate, and horizontal measurements _y_ between
-the parallel and the plate. These measurements, if quite large, might
-be taken with micrometer gages, whereas, for comparatively small
-adjustments, size blocks might be more convenient.
-
-
-Vernier Height Gage and Plug Method
-
-When a vernier height gage is available, it can often be used to
-advantage for setting work preparatory to boring in a milling machine.
-One advantage of this method is that it requires little in the way of
-special equipment. The work is mounted on an angle-plate or directly
-on the platen, depending on its form, and at one end an angle-plate is
-set up with its face parallel to the spindle. An accurately finished
-plug is inserted in the spindle and this plug is set vertically from
-the platen and horizontally from the end angle-plate, by measuring with
-the vernier height gage. After the plug is set for each hole, it is, of
-course, removed and the hole drilled and bored or reamed.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 30. Method of Holding and Locating Casting of
-Irregular Shape, for Boring Holes]
-
-The way the plug and height gage is used is clearly illustrated in
-Figs. 31 and 32. The work, in this particular case, is a small jig.
-This is clamped directly to the machine table and at one end an
-angle-plate is also bolted to the table. This angle-plate is first set
-parallel with the traverse of the saddle or in line with the machine
-spindle. To secure this alignment, an arbor is inserted in the spindle
-and a test indicator is clamped to it by gripping the indicator between
-bushings placed on the arbor. The table is then moved longitudinally
-until the contact point of the indicator is against the surface plate;
-then by traversing the saddle crosswise, any lack of parallelism
-between the surface of the angle-plate and the line of saddle traverse
-will be shown by the indicator.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 31. Making a Vertical Adjustment by Measuring to
-Ground Plug in Spindle]
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 32. Making a Horizontal Adjustment by measuring
-from Angle-Plate to Ground Plug]
-
-When the work is to be adjusted horizontally, the vernier height gage
-is used as shown in Fig. 32, the base of the gage resting on the
-angle-plate and the measurement being taken to an accurately ground and
-lapped plug in the spindle. For vertical adjustments, the measurements
-are taken between this ground plug and the machine platen as in Fig. 31.
-
-
-Locating Holes to be Bored from Center-punch Marks
-
-The problem of accurately locating holes to be bored on the milling
-machine has received much attention, and the method generally used when
-accuracy has been required is the button method, which was previously
-described. So much time is required for doing the work by this method,
-however, that numerous efforts have been made to obtain equally good
-results in other ways.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 33. Diagram Illustrating Rapid but Accurate Method
-of Locating Holes to be bored on Milling Machine]
-
-The increasing demand for rapidity combined with accuracy and a minimum
-liability of error, led to the development of the system described in
-the following: A center-punch mark takes the place of the button, from
-which to indicate the work into the proper position for boring. The
-fundamental principle involved is to lay out, accurately, two lines
-at right angles to each other, and correctly center-punch the point
-where they intersect. With proper care, lines may be drawn with a
-vernier height gage at right angles, with extreme accuracy, the chief
-difficulty being to accurately center the lines where they cross. For
-semi-accurate work this may be done with a common center-punch but
-where extreme accuracy is required this method is not applicable, as
-the average man is incapable of marking the point of intersection
-accurately.
-
-The diagram, Fig. 33, illustrates, in a simple way, the procedure
-adopted in laying out work by this system. The base _E_ is in contact
-with a surface plate while the line _BB_ is drawn with a height gage;
-then with side _F_ on the plate the line _AA_ is drawn. It will be
-seen that these lines will be at right angles to each other, if the
-bases _E_ and _F_ are square. Work done by this method must have two
-working surfaces or base lines, and these must be at right angles
-to each other. There is no difficulty in drawing the locating lines
-_AA_ and _BB_ correctly, either with a vernier height gage or with a
-special micrometer gage reading to 0.0001 inch, the only difficult
-element being to accurately center-punch the lines where they intersect
-as at _D_. It is assumed that two holes are to be bored, so that the
-intersection at _C_ would also be center-punched.
-
-The scriber point of the height gage should be ground so that it will
-make a V-shaped line, as shown by the enlarged sketch _G_, rather than
-one which would resemble a saw-tooth, as at _H_, if a cross-section of
-it were examined with a microscope. This is important because when the
-lines are V-shaped, an accurate point of intersection is obtained.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 34. Center Locating Punch]
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 35. Center Enlarging Punch]
-
-As it is quite or almost impossible to accurately center-punch the
-intersection of even two correctly drawn lines, by ordinary means, the
-punch shown in Figs. 34 and 36 was designed and an extended experience
-with it on a very high grade of work has demonstrated its value for
-the purpose. It consists essentially of a small center-punch _O_ (Fig.
-36) held in vertical position by a holder _P_ which is knurled to
-facilitate handling. Great care should be exercised in making this
-tool to have the body of the punch straight, and to have it stand at
-right angles to the surface to be operated upon, for the slightest
-inclination will cause the finished hole to be incorrect, no matter
-how carefully the lines are drawn. The 60-degree point must be ground
-true with the axis. The holder for the punch stands on three legs,
-located as indicated, and ground accurately to a taper fit in the
-holder, where they are secured by watch screws bearing on their tops.
-The lower ends are hardened, and terminate in an angular point of 55
-degrees (the point of the vernier scriber being 60 degrees). The edges
-are sharp, and slightly rounded at the ends, so that the legs will
-slide along a line smoothly. The points _V_ and _U_ (Fig. 36) have
-edges that are in line with each other, while the point _T_ has an edge
-at right angles to the other two. The center of the punch is located at
-equal distances from all the legs, and is held off the work normally by
-a leather friction acted upon by a set-screw in the side of holder _P_.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 36. Section of Center Locating Punch]
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 37. Section of Center Enlarging Punch]
-
-If this tool is placed upon lines of the form shown at _G_, Fig. 33,
-the legs _V_ and _U_ may be slid along horizontal line _B-B_, Fig. 33,
-until the sharp edge of leg _T_ drops into line _A-A_. When this occurs
-the punch _O_ is lightly tapped with a hammer, and the resulting mark
-will be accurately located in the center of the intersection of the
-lines. It is good practice to make the work very smooth before drawing
-the lines, and after laying them out, to stone them so as to remove the
-slight burr raised in drawing them. A drop of oil is then rubbed into
-the lines, and the surplus wiped off. This procedure permits points
-_V_ and _U_ to run very smoothly along the line, and the burr having
-been removed, the edge of leg _T_ drops into the line very readily with
-a slight click. As it is not advisable to strike punch _O_ more than a
-very light blow, it marks the work but slightly, and a more distinct
-indentation is made with the follower punch shown in Figs. 35 and 37.
-This punch is made like the previous one, so that it will stand at
-right angles to the work. The sectional view (Fig. 37) shows the punch
-_A_ supported by the holder _E_ which has four legs cut away on the
-sides so that the point of the punch may be seen. When this punch is in
-position, it is struck a sufficiently heavy blow to make a distinctly
-visible mark. The work is now ready to be placed upon the work table of
-the milling machine, and indicated for boring the holes, an indicator
-being used in the milling machine spindle.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 38. Indicator used for Aligning Punch Marks with
-Machine Spindle]
-
-An indicator which has been found especially valuable for this purpose
-is shown in Figs. 38 and 39. It is of the concentric centering type,
-and with it the work is brought concentric with the axis of the
-spindle. The arbor _I_ is provided with a threaded nose on which disk
-_D_ is screwed. This disk has four holes in its rim, equally-spaced
-from each other. Hardened, ground, and lapped bushings _b_ are put into
-these holes to receive plug _A_ which is made a gage-fit both in these
-holes and in hole _B_ in the outer end of sector _C_. This sector is
-held by a split sleeve to the barrel _L_ which carries the 60-degree
-centering-rod _K_ that comes into contact with the work to be bored.
-The spherical base of barrel _L_ fits into a corresponding concave seat
-in the nose of the arbor at _H_, and is held in place by a spring _E_
-which connects at one end to the cylindrical stud in the base of the
-barrel, and at the other to the axial rod _M_ by which it and the other
-connecting parts may be drawn into place, and held by the headless
-set-screw _J_, bearing on a flat spot on the tang end of the rod.
-
-Now, if plug _A_ is removed from bushing _b_ the point of the
-centering-rod _K_ may be made to describe a circle. At some point
-within this circle is located the center-punch mark on the work to
-be bored. The holes in the rim of the faceplate all being exactly
-the same distance from an axial line through both the arbor _I_ and
-centering-rod _K_, it follows that the center mark on the work must
-be so located by horizontal and vertical movements of the work table
-that pin _A_ may be freely entered in all the four holes in the rim of
-disk _D_. When that occurs, the center coincides with the axis of the
-spindle.
-
-The point of the center-punch _A_ (Fig. 37) should have an angle
-slightly greater than the angle on the centering-rod _K_, as it is
-impossible to locate the work in the preliminary trials so that the
-center of the work will be coincident with the axis of the spindle, and
-unless the precaution mentioned is taken, the true center on the work
-is liable to be drawn from its proper location when trying to bring the
-work into such a position that the plug will enter all the holes in the
-disk. As the work being operated on is brought nearer to the proper
-location by the movements of the milling machine table, spring _G_ will
-be compressed, the center rod sliding back into barrel _L_. This spring
-is made so that it will hold the center against the work firmly, but
-without interfering with the free rotation of the sector _C_ around
-disk _D_. When the work is located so that the plug enters the holes,
-the gibs of the machine should be tightened up and the plug tried
-once more, to make sure that the knee of the machine has not moved
-sufficiently to cause the work on the table to be out of line. The work
-table is now clamped to prevent accidental horizontal shifting, and the
-work is drilled and bored.
-
-[Illustration: Fig. 39. Sectional View of Indicator shown in Fig. 38]
-
-In using this indicator the milling machine spindle is not rotated
-together with arbor _I_, only the sector being turned around the disk.
-The tool is set, however, in the beginning, so that the axes of two
-of the bushings _b_ are at right angles to the horizontal plane of
-the machine table, while the axes of the other holes in the disk
-are parallel with the top of the work table. The centering-rods are
-made interchangeable and of various lengths, to reach more or less
-accessible centers. Fig. 38 shows the indicator with one of the long
-center-rods in the foreground.
-
-The only part of the milling machine on which dependence must be placed
-for accuracy is the hole in the spindle, and this is less liable to get
-out of truth, from wear such as would impair the accuracy, than are the
-knee, table, or micrometer screws. The only moving part is the sector,
-and this, being light, is very sensitive.
-
-A series of 24 holes was laid out and bored in one and one-half day by
-the method described in the foregoing. Measurements across accurately
-lapped plugs in the holes, showed the greatest deviation from truth
-to be 0.0002 inch, and running from that to accuracy so great that no
-error was measurable. This same work with buttons would have required
-considerably more time.

-
-
-Machinery is the leading journal in the machine-building field and
-meets the requirements of the mechanical engineer, superintendent,
-designer, toolmaker and machinist, as no other journal does.
-MACHINERY deals exclusively with machine design, tool design, machine
-construction, shop practice, shop systems and shop management. The
-reading matter in MACHINERY is written by practical men and edited by
-mechanical men of long practical training.
-
-Each number of MACHINERY contains a variety of articles on machine shop
-practice. These articles include carefully prepared descriptions of
-manufacturing methods and current mechanical developments. Shop systems
-and shop managements are ably handled by the foremost writers. Every
-number contains the most extensive and complete record published by any
-journal, or in any form, of new machinery and tools and accessories
-for the machine shop. A special department is devoted to “Letters on
-Practical Subjects,” to which practical mechanics contribute their
-experiences. There is a department of Shop Kinks—brief, concise little
-contributions which contain ideas of value to the man in the shop or at
-the drafting table.
-
-The mechanical engineer, machine designer and draftsman are also well
-provided for in MACHINERY. Every number contains articles on the theory
-and practice of machine design, on the properties of materials, and
-on labor-saving methods and systems. There are reviews of research
-work in the mechanical field, and valuable results of carefully made
-experiments are recorded.
-
-The supremacy of MACHINERY in the mechanical field is due to the
-care with which all matter offered for publication in its pages is
-scrutinized. Only the _best_ of the material offered by mechanical
-writers is published, and, as a result, its pages contain the most
-authoritative, practical and up-to-date mechanical information.

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-</div>
-
-<p>The degree of accuracy that is necessary in the construction of
-certain classes of machinery and tools, has made it necessary for
-toolmakers and machinists to employ various methods and appliances
-for locating holes or finished surfaces to given dimensions and
-within the prescribed limits of accuracy. In this treatise, various
-approved methods of locating work, such as are used more particularly
-in tool-rooms, are described and illustrated. These are not given, in
-every case, as being the best possible method under all conditions,
-because, as every mechanical man knows, the best way may be dependent
-upon the element of accuracy with little regard for the time required
-to do the work, or this order may be reversed; therefore, one method is
-seldom, if ever, the best under all circumstances, and it is necessary
-for the workman to consider the conditions in each case and then be
-guided by his judgment and experience in determining just how the work
-should be done.</p>
-
-<h3 id="BUTTON">Button Method of Accurately<br /> Locating Work</h3>
-
-<p>Among the different methods employed by toolmakers for accurately
-locating work such as jigs, etc., on the faceplate of a lathe, one of
-the most commonly used is known as the “button method.” This method is
-so named because cylindrical bushings or buttons are attached to the
-work in positions corresponding to the holes to be bored, after which
-they are used in locating the work. These buttons which are ordinarily
-about ½ or ⅝ inch in diameter, are ground and lapped to the same size,
-and the ends are finished perfectly square. The outside diameter
-should preferably be such that the radius can easily be determined,
-and the hole through the center should be about ⅛ inch larger than the
-retaining screw so that the button can be adjusted laterally.</p>
-
-<p>As a simple example of the practical application of the button method,
-suppose three holes are to be bored in a jig-plate according to the
-dimensions given in <a href="#FIG_1">Fig. 1</a>. A common method of procedure would
-be as follows: First lay out the centers of all holes to be bored, by the
-usual method. Mark these centers with a prick-punch and then drill
-holes for the machine screws which are used to clamp the buttons. After
-the buttons are clamped lightly in place, set them in correct relation
-with each other and with the jig-plate. The proper location of the
-buttons is very important, as their positions largely determine the
-accuracy of the work. The best method of locating a number of buttons
-depends, to some extent, upon their relative positions, the instruments
-available, and the accuracy required. When buttons must be located at
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</span>
-given distances from the finished sides of a jig, a surface plate and
-vernier height gage are often used. The method is to place that side
-from which the button is to be set, upon an accurate surface plate and
-then set the button by means of the height gage, allowance being made,
-of course, for the radius of the button. The center-to-center distance
-between the different buttons can afterwards be verified by taking
-direct measurements with a micrometer.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter space-above3">
- <img id="FIG_1" src="images/i_04.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="285" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 1</b>. Simple Example of Work
- Illustrating Application of Button Method</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Figs. <a href="#FIG_2">2</a> and <a href="#FIG_3">3</a>
-illustrate a method which requires only a micrometer.
-Two of the buttons are set at the correct distance from one edge of the
-plate by measuring from a parallel strip. Obviously, the micrometer
-reading will exceed the distance from the center of a button to the
-edge of the plate, by the amount equal to the thickness of the parallel
-strip plus the radius of the button. The center-to-center distance
-between each pair of buttons is also tested as indicated in <a href="#FIG_3">Fig. 3</a>,
-by measuring the overall distance and deducting the diameter of one button.</p>
-
-<p>After the buttons have been set and the screws are tightened, all
-measurements should be carefully checked. The work is then mounted
-on the faceplate of the lathe and one of the buttons is set true by
-the use of a test indicator as shown in <a href="#FIG_4">Fig. 4</a>.
-When the dial of the indicator ceases to vibrate, thus showing that the
-button runs true, the latter should be removed so that the hole can
-be drilled and bored to the required size. In a similar manner other
-buttons are indicated and the holes bored, one at a time. It is evident
-that if each button is correctly located and set perfectly true in the
-lathe, the various holes will be located the required distance apart
-within very close limits.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter space-above3">
- <img id="FIG_2" src="images/i_05.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="405" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 2</b>. Determining Distance
- from Button to Edge of Plate</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Another example of work illustrating the application of the button
-method is shown in <a href="#FIG_5">Fig. 5</a>. The disk-shaped part illustrated is
-a flange templet which formed a part of a fixture for drilling holes in flanged
-plates, the holes being located on a circle 6 inches in diameter.
-It was necessary to space the six holes equi-distantly so that the
-holes in the flanges would match in any position, thus making them
-interchangeable. First a plug was turned so that it fitted snugly in the
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</span>
-1¼-inch central hole of the plate and projected above the top surface
-about ¾ inch. A center was located in this plug and from it a circle
-of three inches radius was drawn. This circle was divided into six
-equal parts and then small circles ⅝ inch in diameter were drawn to
-indicate the outside circumference of the bushings to be placed in
-the holes. These circles served as a guide when setting the button
-and enabled the work to be done much more quickly. The centers of the
-holes were next carefully prick-punched and small holes were drilled
-and tapped for No. 10 machine screws. After this the six buttons
-were attached in approximately the correct positions and the screws
-tightened enough to hold the buttons firmly, but allow them to be
-moved by tapping lightly. As the radius of the circle is 3 inches,
-the radius of the central plug, ⅝ inch, and that of each button, ⁵/₁₆
-inch, the distance from the outside of the central plug to the outside
-of any button, when correctly set, must be 3 ¹⁵/₁₆ inches. Since there
-are six buttons around the circle, the center-to-center distance is
-equal to the radius, and the distance between the outside or any two
-buttons should be 3⅝ inches. Having determined these dimensions, each
-button is set equi-distant from the central plug and the required
-distance apart, by using a micrometer. As each button is brought into
-its correct position, it should be tightened down a little so that it
-will be located firmly when finally set. The work is then strapped to
-the faceplate of a lathe and each button is indicated for boring the
-different holes by means of an indicator, as previously described. When
-the buttons are removed it will be found that in nearly all cases the
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</span>
-small screw holes will not run exactly true; therefore, it is advisable
-to form a true starting point for the drill by using a lathe tool.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter space-above3">
- <img id="FIG_3" src="images/i_06.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="511" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 3</b>. Testing Location of Buttons</p>
-</div>
-
-<p><a href="#FIG_7">Fig. 7</a> shows a method of locating buttons
-from the finished sides of a plate, and this same plate with the five
-buttons attached is shown in <a href="#FIG_6">Fig. 6</a>. As the
-dimensions in <a href="#FIG_7">Fig. 7</a> indicate, the holes must not
-only be accurate with relation to each other, but also with reference
-to the edges of the templet; therefore, it is necessary to work from
-the sides as well as the center. The width of the plate was first
-measured carefully and found to be 5 inches. As the center-to-center
-distance between buttons <i>B</i> and <i>C</i> and also buttons
-<i>D</i> and <i>E</i>, is 2½ inches, the distance from the center of
-each outside button to the edge of the plate is 1¼ inch. A ¼-inch
-parallel was clamped against the side, as shown in the illustration,
-and then the distance from the outside of each button to the outside
-of the parallel (1 ¹³/₁₆ inch) was measured in conjunction with the
-distance <i>L</i> from the central button. The distance <i>L</i> was
-obtained by first determining the center-to-center distance <i>M</i>
-which represents the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.</p>
-
-<p class="f120"><i>M</i>² = 1.25² + 1.625²</p>
-
-<p class="f120 no-wrap">or <i>M</i> = √<span class="over">1.25² + 1.625²</span>
- = √<span class="over">4.024</span> = 2.050 inches.</p>
-
-<p class="f120">Therefore, <i>L</i> = 2.050 + 0.625 = 2.675 inches.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</span>
-In this case, the center button was first located correctly from the
-sides and end and then the other buttons were set. When doing precision
-work of this kind, the degree of accuracy obtained will depend upon
-the instruments used, the judgment and skill of the workman, and the
-care exercised. A good general rule to follow when locating bushings
-or buttons is to use the method which is the most direct and which
-requires the least number of measurements, in order to prevent an
-accumulation of errors.</p>
-
-<h3>Locating Work by the Disk Method</h3>
-
-<p>Comparatively small precision work is sometimes located by the disk
-method, which is the same in principle as the button method, the chief
-difference being that disks are used instead of buttons. These disks
-are made to such diameters that when their peripheries are in contact,
-each disk center will coincide with the position of the hole to be
-bored; the centers are then used for locating the work. To illustrate
-this method, suppose that the master-plate shown at the left in <a href="#FIG_8">Fig. 8</a>
-is to have three holes <i>a</i>, <i>b</i>, and <i>c</i> bored into it,
-to the center distances given.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_4" src="images/i_07.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="421" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 4</b>. Testing Concentricity
- of Button Preparatory to Boring Hole in Lathe</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>It is first necessary to determine the diameters of the disks. If
-the center distances between all the holes were equal, the diameters
-would, of course, equal this dimension. When, however, the distances
-between the centers are unequal, the diameters may be found as follows:
-Subtract, say, dimension <i>y</i> from <i>x</i>, thus obtaining the
-difference between the radii of disks <i>C</i> and <i>A</i> (<a href="#FIG_8">see
-right-hand sketch</a>); add this difference to dimension <i>z</i>, and the
-result will be the diameter of disk <i>A</i>. Dividing this diameter
-by 2 gives the radius, which, subtracted from center distance <i>x</i>
-equals the radius of <i>B</i>; similarly the radius of <i>B</i>
-subtracted from dimension <i>y</i> equals the radius of <i>C</i>.
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</span></p>
-
-<p class="blockquot">For example, 0.930-0.720 = 0.210 or the difference
-between the radii of disks <i>C</i> and <i>A</i>. Then the diameter of
-<i>A</i> = 0.210 + 0.860 = 1.070 inch, and the radius equals 1.070 ÷
-2 = 0.535 inch. The radius of <i>B</i> = 0.930-0.535 = 0.395 inch and
-0.395 × 2 = 0.790, or the diameter of <i>B</i>. The center distance
-0.720-0.395 = 0.325, which is the radius of <i>C</i>; 0.325 × 2 = 0.650
-or the diameter of <i>C</i>.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>After determining the diameters, the disks should be turned nearly to
-size and finished, preferably in a bench lathe. First insert a solder
-chuck in the spindle, face it perfectly true, and attach the disk by a
-few drops of solder, being careful to hold the work firmly against the
-chuck while soldering. Face the outer side and cut a sharp V-center
-in it; then grind the periphery to the required diameter. Next fasten
-the finished disks onto the work in their correct locations with their
-peripheries in contact, and then set one of the disks exactly central
-with the lathe spindle by applying a test indicator to the center in
-the disk. After removing the disk and boring the hole, the work is
-located for boring the other holes in the same manner.

-</div>
-
-<p>Small disks may be secured to the work by means of jeweler’s wax.
-This is composed of common rosin and plaster of paris and is made as
-follows: Heat the rosin in a vessel until it flows freely, and then add
-plaster of paris and keep stirring the mixture. Care should be taken
-not to make the mixture too stiff. When it appears to have the proper
-consistency, pour some of it onto a slate or marble slab and allow it
-to cool; then insert the point of a knife under the flattened cake thus
-formed and try to pry it off. If it springs off with a slight metallic
-ring, the proportions are right, but if it is gummy and ductile,
-there is too much rosin. On the other hand, if it is too brittle and
-crumbles, this indicates that there is too much plaster of paris. The
-wax should be warmed before using. A mixture of beeswax and shellac, or
-beeswax and rosin in about equal proportions, is also used for holding
-disks in place. When the latter are fairly large, it may be advisable
-to secure them with small screws, provided the screw holes are not
-objectionable.</p>
-
-<h3>Disk-and-Button Method of<br /> Locating Holes</h3>
-
-<p>The accuracy of work done by the button method previously described
-is limited only by the skill and painstaking care of the workman,
-but setting the buttons requires a great deal of time. By a little
-modification, using what is sometimes called the “disk-and-button
-method,” a large part of this time can be saved without any sacrifice
-of accuracy. The disk-and-button method is extensively used in many
-shops. Buttons are used, but they are located in the centers of disks
-of whatever diameters are necessary to give the required locations.
-As three disks are used in each step of the process, it is sometimes
-called the “three-disk method.”</p>
-
-<p>To illustrate the practical application of this method, suppose six
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</span>
-equally-spaced holes are to be located in the circumference of a
-circle six inches in diameter. To locate these, one needs, besides the
-buttons, three disks three inches in diameter, each having a central
-hole exactly fitting the buttons. It is best to have, also, a bushing
-of the same diameter as the buttons, which has a center-punch fitted
-to slide in it. First the center button is screwed to the templet, and
-one of the disks <i>A</i>, <a href="#FIG_9">Fig. 9</a>, is slipped over
-it; then a second disk <i>B</i> carrying a bushing and center-punch
-is placed in contact with disk <i>A</i> and a light blow on the punch
-marks the place to drill and tap for No. 2 button, which is kept in
-its proper place while tightening the screw by holding the two disks
-<i>A</i> and <i>B</i> in contact. Next the third disk <i>C</i> is
-placed in contact with disks <i>A</i> and <i>B</i> and locates No. 3
-button, and so on until the seven buttons are secured in position.
-The templet is then ready to be strapped to the lathe faceplate for boring.</p>

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 8</b>. An Example of Precision Work,
- and Method<br /> of Locating Holes by Use of Disks in Contact</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Of course, it is not possible to use disks of “standard” sizes for
-many operations, but making a special disk is easy, and its cost
-is insignificant as compared with the time saved by its use. One
-who employs this method, especially if he also uses disks to lay
-out angles, soon accumulates a stock of various sizes. While it is
-desirable to have disks of tool steel, hardened and ground, or, in the
-larger sizes, of machine steel, case-hardened and ground, a disk for

-<p>Another example of work is shown in <a href="#FIG_10">Fig. 10</a>.
-This is a jig templet similar to the one illustrated in Figs.
-<a href="#FIG_6">6</a> and <a href="#FIG_7">7</a>. Sketch <i>A</i> gives
-its dimensions and sketch <i>B</i> shows the disk-and-button way of
-locating the holes. A steel square is clamped with its stock against
-the right-hand edge of the templet and its blade extending across the
-top. The lower edge of the blade should be located 0.250 inch from the
-upper edge of the templet by the use of size blocks. A 2½-inch disk,
-touching both blade and stock, locates hole <i>C</i>. Another 2½-inch
-disk, touching the first disk and the square blade, locates hole
-<i>B</i>. Next a disk 1.600 inch diameter is placed in contact with the
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</span>
-two upper disks and locates the center hole <i>A</i>; and, finally, the
-disks for holes <i>B</i> and <i>C</i> are used to locate holes <i>D</i>
-and <i>E</i>.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>Two other jobs that illustrate this method may be of interest.
-The first one, shown in <a href="#FIG_11">Fig. 11</a>, required the locating
-of nine equally-spaced holes on a circumference of 7⅜ inches diameter. In any
-such case, the size of the smaller disks is found by multiplying the
-diameter of the circle upon which the centers of the disks are located
-by the sine of half the angle between two adjacent disks. The angle
-between the centers of adjacent disks equals 360 ÷ number of disks.
-360 ÷ 9 = 40; hence, in this case, the diameter of the smaller disks
-equals 7⅜ multiplied by the sine of 20 degrees, or 7⅜ × 0.34202 =
-2.5224 inches. 7⅜-2.5224 = 4.8526 inches, which is the diameter of
-the central disk.</p>
-
-<p>The templet shown in <a href="#FIG_12">Fig. 12</a> required two holes on a
-circumference 6½ inches diameter, with their centers 37 degrees 20 minutes apart.
-To find the diameter of the smaller disks, multiply the diameter of the
-large circle by the sine of one-half the required angle, as in the
-preceding example; thus 6½ × sin 18 degrees 40 minutes = 2.0804 inches,
-which is the diameter of the two smaller disks. The diameter of the
-larger disk equals 6½-2.0804 = 4.4196 inches.</p>
-
-<p>Very accurate results can be obtained by the disk-and-button method. Of
-course, absolute exactness is equally unattainable with buttons and a
-micrometer, or any other method; the micrometer does not show the slight
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</span>
-inaccuracy in any one chordal measurement, while in using the disks the
-error is accumulative and the insertion of the last disk in the series
-shows the sum of the errors in all the disks. It is only in cases like
-the one illustrated in <a href="#FIG_9">Fig. 9</a> that we note this,
-and then, though in correcting the error, we may change the diameter of
-the circle a very slight amount, an exceedingly accurate division of
-the circumference is secured.</p>
-
-<p>Use of Two- and Three-Diameter Disks</p>
-
-<p><a href="#FIG_13">Fig. 13</a> illustrates, on an enlarged scale, a piece
-of work requiring great accuracy, which was successfully handled by
-an extension of the three-disk method. Fourteen holes were required
-in a space hardly larger than a silver half-dollar, and, although the
-drawing gave dimensions from the center of the circle, the actual
-center could not be used in doing the work, as there was to be no hole
-there; moreover, a boss slightly off center prevented the use of a
-central disk, unless the bottom of the disk were bored out to receive
-this boss, which was not thought expedient. Hence, the method adopted
-was to make the plate thicker than the dimension given on the drawing,
-and then bore it out to leave a rim of definite diameter, this rim to
-be removed after it had served its purpose as a locating limit for the
-disks.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>As the holes <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>, which were finished first, were
-0.600 inch apart and 0.625 inch from the center, the rim was bored
-to 1.850 inch and two 0.600-inch disks, in contact with the rim and
-with each other, located these holes. As hole <i>C</i> was to be
-equi-distant from holes <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>, and its distance from
-the center was given, the size of the disk for this hole was readily
-determined. The disks for holes <i>A</i>, <i>B</i> and <i>C</i> have
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</span>
-two diameters; the upper diameters are made to whatever size is
-required for locating the disks of adjacent holes, and they also form
-a hub which can be used when setting the disks with an indicator. Hole
-<i>D</i> was 0.4219 inch from <i>B</i>, and calculations based on this
-dimension and its distance from the center showed that it was 0.4375
-inch from hole <i>C</i>.</p>
-
-<p>A “three-story” disk or button was made for hole <i>D</i>. The diameter
-of the large part was 0.46875 inch and it overlapped disks <i>C</i>
-and <i>B</i> (the upper sections of which were made 0.375 inch and
-0.4062 inch, respectively), thus locating <i>D</i>. Then hole <i>F</i>
-and all the remaining holes were located in a similar manner. The
-upper diameters of disks <i>E</i> and <i>D</i> were used in locating
-disks for other adjacent holes, as well as a hub for the indicator;
-for instance, to locate a hole with reference to holes <i>C</i> and
-<i>D</i>, the diameter of the new disk and the diameter of the upper
-part of disk <i>D</i>, were varied to give the required location. The
-relation between the disks <i>B</i>, <i>D</i> and <i>F</i> is shown by

-
-<p>It had been decided that no screws should be used in attaching the
-buttons or disks to the work, as it was feared that the tapped holes
-would introduce inaccuracy by deflecting the boring-tools; therefore
-the following method was employed. After all the disks were fastened
-in place by clamps, a soft solder of low melting point was flowed
-about them, filling the work to the top of the rim. When the solder
-had cooled, the clamps were removed, the work transferred to the
-lathe faceplate, indicated in the usual way, and the holes bored by a
-“<i>D</i>” or “hog-nose” drill, guided by an axial hole in each disk,
-which had been provided for that purpose when the disks were made. It
-was thought that the unequal contraction of the solder and the plate
-in cooling might throw the holes “out of square;” however, careful
-measurements failed to show any appreciable lack of parallelism in
-test-bars inserted in the holes.

-<h3>Accurate Angular Measurements with Disks</h3>
-
-<p>For setting up a piece of work on which a surface is to be planed
-or milled at an exact angle to a surface already finished, disks provide
-an accurate means of adjustment. One method of using disks for
-angular work is illustrated at <i>A</i> in <a href="#FIG_14">Fig. 14</a>.
-Let us assume that the lower edge of plate shown is finished and that
-the upper edge is to be milled at an angle <i>a</i> of 32 degrees with
-the lower edge. If the two disks <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> are to be used
-for locating the work, how far apart must they be set in order to
-locate it at the required angle? The center-to-center distance can be
-determined as follows: Subtract the radius of the larger disk from the
-radius of the smaller disk, and divide the difference by the sine of
-one-half the required angle.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_14" src="images/i_15.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="276" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 14</b>. Obtaining Accurate
- Angular Measurements with Disks</p>
-</div>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-<p><i>Example</i>: If the required angle <i>a</i> is 32 degrees, the
-radius of the large disk, 2 inches, and the radius of the small disk, 1
-inch, what is the center-to-center distance?</p>
-
-<p>The sine of one-half the required angle, or 16 degrees, is 0.27564.
-The difference between the radii of the disks equals 2 - 1 = 1, and 1
-÷ 0.27564 = 3.624 inches. Therefore, for an angle of 32 degrees, disks
-of the sizes given should be set so that the distance between their
-centers is 3.624 inches.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Another method of accurately locating angular work is illustrated at
-<i>B</i> in <a href="#FIG_14">Fig. 14</a>. In this case, two disks are
-also used, but they are placed in contact with each other and changes
-for different angles are obtained by varying the diameter of the larger
-disk. The smaller disk is a standard 1-inch size, such as is used for
-setting a 2-inch micrometer. By this method any angle up to about 40
-degrees can be obtained within a very close limit of accuracy. The
-following rule may be used for determining the diameter of the larger
-disk, when both disks are in contact and the diameter of the small disk
-is known:
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</span></p>
-
-<p>Multiply twice the diameter of the small disk by the sine of one-half
-the required angle; divide this product by 1 minus the sine of one-half
-the required angle; add the quotient to the diameter of the small disk
-to obtain the diameter of the large disk.</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-<p><i>Example</i>: The required angle a is 15 degrees.
-Find the diameter of the large disk to be in contact
-with the standard 1-inch reference disk.</p>
-
-<p>The sine of 7 degrees 30 minutes is 0.13053.
-Multiplying twice the diameter of the small disk by the sine of 7
-degrees 30 minutes, we have 2 × 1 × 0.13053 = 0.26106. This product
-divided by 1 minus the sine of 7 degrees 30 minutes</p>

-<h3>Disk-and-Square Method of Determining Angles</h3>
-
-<p>The method shown in <a href="#FIG_15">Fig. 15</a> for determining
-angles for setting up work on a milling machine or planer, possesses
-several advantages. No expensive tools are required, the method can be
-applied quickly, and the results obtained are quite accurate enough for
-any but the most exacting requirements. As will be seen, an ordinary
-combination square is used in connection with a disk, the head of the
-square being set at different points on the blade according to the
-angle that is desired. Theoretically, a one-inch disk could be used for
-all angles from about 6 degrees up to a right angle, but in practice it
-is more convenient and accurate to employ larger disks for the larger angles.</p>
-
-<p>The only inaccuracy resulting from this method is due to setting the
-square at the nearest “scale fraction” instead of at the exact point
-determined by calculation. This error is very small, however, and is
-negligible in practically all cases. The dimension <i>x</i> required
-for any desired angle <i>a</i> can be found by multiplying the radius
-of the disk, by the cotangent of one-half the desired angle, and adding
-to this product the radius of the disk.</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-<p><i>Example</i>: The square blade is to be set to an angle of 15
-degrees 10 minutes, using a 2-inch disk. At what distance <i>x</i>
-(<a href="#FIG_15">see Fig. 15</a>) should the head of the square be set?</p>
-
-<p class="f110">Cot 7 degrees 35 minutes = 7.5113,<br /> and 7.5113 × 1
-+ 1 = 8.5113 inches.</p>
-
-<p class="no-indent">By setting the square to 8½ inches “full,” the
-blade would be set very close to the required angle of 15 degrees 10
-minutes.</p>
-</div>
-
-<h3>Locating Work by means of Size Blocks</h3>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</span>
-The size-block method of locating a jig-plate or other part, in
-different positions on a lathe faceplate, for boring holes accurately
-at given center-to-center distances, is illustrated in <a href="#FIG_16">Fig. 16</a>.
-The way the size blocks are used in this particular instance is as follows:
-A pair of accurate parallels are attached to a faceplate at right angles
-to each other and they are so located that the center of one of the
-holes to be bored will coincide with the lathe spindle. The hole which
-is aligned in this way should be that one on the work which is nearest
-the outer corner, so that the remaining holes can be set in a central
-position by adjusting the work away from the parallels. After the first
-hole is bored, the work is located for boring each additional hole by
-placing size blocks of the required width between the edges of the
-work and the parallels. For instance, to set the plate for boring hole
-<i>D</i>, size blocks (or a combination of blocks or gages) equal in
-width to dimension <i>A</i>₁ would be inserted at <i>A</i>, and other
-blocks equal in width to dimension <i>B</i>₁ beneath the work as at
-<i>B</i>. As will be seen, the dimensions of these blocks equal the
-horizontal and vertical distances between holes <i>C</i> and <i>D</i>.
-With the use of other combinations of gage blocks, any additional holes
-that might be required are located in the central position. While only
-two holes are shown in this case, it will be understood that the plate
-could be located accurately for boring almost any number of holes by
-this method.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_16" src="images/i_18.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="308" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 16</b>. Method of setting Work on Faceplate<br />
- with Size Blocks or Gages</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Incidentally, such gages as the Johansson combination gages are
-particularly suited for work of this kind, as any dimension within
-the minimum and maximum limits of a set can be obtained by simply
-placing the required sizes together. Sometimes when such gages are not
-available, disks which have been ground to the required diameter are
-interposed between the parallels and the work for securing accurate
-locations. Another method of securing a positive adjustment of the
-work is to use parallels composed of two tapering sections, which
-can be adjusted to vary the width and be locked together by means of
-screws. Each half has the same taper so that outer edges are parallel
-for any position, and the width is measured by using a micrometer. The
-size-block method is usually applied to work having accurately machined
-edges, although a part having edges which are of a rough or irregular
-shape can be located by this method, if it is mounted on an auxiliary
-plate having accurately finished square edges. For instance, if holes
-were to be bored in the casting for a jig templet which had simply been
-planed on the top and bottom, the casting could be bolted to a finished
-plate having square edges and the latter be set in the different
-positions required, by means of size blocks. Comparatively large jig
-plates are sometimes located for boring in this way and the milling
-machine is often used instead of a lathe.</p>
-
-<h3>The Master-plate Method</h3>
-
-<p>When it is necessary to machine two or more plates so that they are
-duplicates as to the location of holes, circular recesses, etc.,
-what is known as a master-plate is often used for locating the work
-on the lathe faceplate. This master-plate <i>M</i> (<a href="#FIG_17">see Fig. 17</a>)
-contains holes which correspond to those wanted in the work, and which
-accurately fit a central plug <i>P</i> in the lathe spindle, so that
-by engaging first one hole and then another with the plug, the work is
-accurately positioned for the various operations.</p>
-
-<p>When making the master-plate, great care should be taken to have the
-sides parallel and the holes at right angles to the sides, as well as
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</span>
-accurately located with reference to one another. The various holes
-may be located with considerable precision by the use of buttons as
-previously described. Of course, it is necessary to have a hole in the
-master-plate for each different position in which the work will have to
-be placed on the faceplate; for example, if a circular recess <i>r</i>
-were required, a hole <i>r</i>₁ exactly concentric with it would be
-needed in the master-plate. The method of holding the work and locating
-it with reference to the holes in the master-plate will depend largely
-on its shape. The cylindrical blank <i>B</i> illustrated, is positioned
-by a recess in the master-plate in which it fits. The work is commonly
-held to the master-plate by means of clamps and tap bolts or by screws
-which pass through the work and into the master-plate. Solder is sometimes
-used when it is not convenient to hold the work by clamps or screws.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_17" src="images/i_19.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="321" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 17</b>. Master-plate applied
- to a Bench Lathe Faceplate</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>The plug <i>P</i> which locates the master-plate, is first turned to
-fit the spindle or collet of the lathe and the outer or projecting end
-is roughturned for the holes in the master-plate, which should all be
-finished to exactly the same diameter. The plug is then inserted in
-the spindle and ground and lapped to a close fit for the holes in
-the master-plate. The latter, with the work attached to it, is next
-clamped to the faceplate by the straps shown, which engage a groove
-around the edge of the master-plate. The first hole is finished by
-drilling to within, say, 0.005 or 0.006 inch of the size, and then
-boring practically to size, a very small amount being left for reaming
-or grinding. The remaining holes can then be finished in the same
-way, the work being positively located in each case by loosening the
-master-plate and engaging the proper hole in it with the central plug.
-It is apparent that by the use of this same master-plate, a number of
-pieces <i>B</i> could be made which would be practically duplicates.</p>
-
-<p>The master-plate method of locating work can be applied in many
-different ways. It is used for making duplicate dies, for accurately
-locating the various holes in watch movements, and for many other
-operations requiring great precision. Master-plates are quite frequently
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</span>
-used by toolmakers when it is necessary to produce a number of drill
-jigs which are to be used for drilling holes in different parts having
-the same relative locations, thus requiring jigs that are duplicates
-within very close limits.</p>
-
-<p>When a master-plate is required, that is to be used in making
-duplicates of an existing model, the holes are bored in the
-master-plate by reversing the process <a href="#FIG_17">illustrated in Fig. 17</a>.
-That is, the central plug <i>P</i> is turned to fit the largest hole in
-the model and the latter with the attached master-plate blank is
-clamped to lathe faceplate. The first hole is then bored to within say
-0.002 inch of the finish diameter, to allow for grinding, provided
-the master-plate is to be hardened. The central plug is then turned
-down to fit the next largest hole and the second hole is bored in the
-master-plate. This method is continued until all the holes are bored.
-In order to prevent any change in the position of the master-plate
-relative to the model, it may be secured by inserting dowel-pins
-through both parts, the work being held to the lathe faceplate by
-ordinary screw clamps. If the holes in the model do not extend clear

-<span class="h_subtitle">ACCURATE DIVIDING AND<br /> SPACING METHODS</span></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p>Toolmakers and machinists occasionally find it necessary to locate a
-number of equally-spaced holes on a straight line between two points,
-or to divide a circle with holes which are equi-distant within a very
-small limit of accuracy. Several dividing and spacing methods are
-described in this chapter; some of these methods can, with slight
-modification, be applied in various ways.</p>

-
-<h3>Locating Small Equally-spaced<br /> Holes in Rows</h3>
-
-<p>It is sometimes necessary to drill one or more rows of small
-equally-spaced holes. The best method of doing this work naturally
-depends, to some extent, upon the accuracy required, but even when a
-high degree of accuracy is not necessary, if an attempt is made to lay
-out the holes and drill them in the ordinary way, considerable time
-is usually required and the results are liable to be unsatisfactory.
-For example, suppose a row of holes ¹/₁₆ inch in diameter and ⅛ inch
-center-to-center distance were to be drilled in a flat plate. Some
-machinists would proceed by first scribing a center-line and then
-laying out the centers of the holes by means of dividers. A much easier
-and accurate method is <a href="#FIG_18">illustrated in Fig. 18</a>, and is as follows:
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</span>
-Lay out the first hole and drill it; then secure a small piece of flat
-steel for a drill guide, drill a hole through it, bevel one corner
-and scribe a fine line on the beveled section, as shown in the
-illustration. Align the hole drilled in the guide with the hole in the
-work, by inserting a close-fitting plug, and clamp a scale against one
-edge of the drill guide so that one of the graduation marks exactly
-matches with the line on the guide. The edge of the scale must also be
-located parallel to the center-line of the row of holes to be drilled.
-Now proceed to drill the holes, setting the drill guide each time, to
-whatever graduation line represents the required spacing or pitch of
-the holes.</p>
-
-<p>It is advisable to use a magnifying glass to accurately align the
-graduation mark on the scale with the line on the drill guide. If two
-or more rows of holes are to be drilled parallel, the guide block can
-be drilled accordingly, so that the different rows of holes can be
-finished at the same time. The drill guide block should be relieved
-slightly in the center so as to insure the ends of the block bearing
-against the edge of the scale. A toolmaker or machinist can drill a row
-of holes accurately by this simple method, in the time required to lay
-them out in the usual way, and even though accuracy is not necessary,
-it is quicker to drill holes by this method than by the one more
-commonly employed.</p>
-
-<h3>Use of Disks for Locating<br /> Equally-Spaced Holes</h3>
-
-<p>A simple method of spacing holes that are to be drilled in a
-straight line is illustrated in <a href="#FIG_19">Fig. 19</a>. Two
-disks are made, each having a diameter equal to the center-to-center
-distance required between the holes. These disks must also have holes
-which are exactly central with the outside to act as a guide for the
-drill or reamer. The first two holes are drilled in the work while the
-disks are clamped so that they are in contact with each other and also
-with the straightedge as shown. One disk is then placed on the opposite
-side of the other, as indicated by the dotted line, and a third hole
-is drilled; this process of setting one disk against the opposite side
-of the other is continued until all the holes are drilled. When it is
-necessary to drill a parallel row of “staggered” holes, the second row
-can be located by placing disks of the proper size in contact with the
-first row of disks.</p>

- in a Straight Line<br /> by Means of Disks and Straightedge</p>
-</div>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</span>
-A method of using disks, which is preferable for very accurate work, is
-shown in <a href="#FIG_20">Fig. 20</a>. The disks are clamped against
-each other and along straightedge <i>A</i> by the screws shown, and if
-the outside diameters are correct and the guide holes concentric with
-the outside, very accurate work can be done. With this device there
-may be as many disks as there are holes to be drilled, if the number
-of holes is comparatively small, but if it is necessary to drill a
-long row of holes, the disks and frame are shifted along an auxiliary
-straightedge <i>B</i>, the hole in one of the end disks being aligned
-with the last hole drilled by inserting a close-fitting plug through
-the disk and hole.</p>
-
-<h3>Adjustable Jig for Accurate Hole Spacing</h3>
-
-<p>An adjustable jig for accurately spacing small holes is shown in
-<a href="#FIG_21">Fig. 21</a>.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 20</b>. Special Disk-jig
- for Precision Drilling</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>This form is especially adapted for locating a number of equally
-spaced holes between two previously drilled or bored holes, and the
-accuracy of the method lies in the fact that a slight error in the
-original spacing of the guide bushing is multiplied, and, therefore,
-easily detected. There are two of these guide bushings <i>A</i> and
-<i>B</i> which are carried by independent slides. These slides can be
-shifted along a dovetail groove after loosening the screws of clamp-gib
-<i>C</i>. To illustrate the method of using this jig, suppose five
-equally-spaced holes are to be located between two holes that are 12
-inches apart. As the center-to-center distance between adjacent holes
-is 2 inches, slides <i>A</i> and <i>B</i> would be set so that the
-dimension <i>x</i> equals 2 inches plus the radii of the bushings.
-A straightedge is then clamped to the work in such position that a
-close-fitting plug can be inserted through the end holes which were
-previously drilled or bored. Then with a plug inserted through, say,
-bushing <i>B</i> and one of the end holes, the first hole is drilled
-and reamed through bushing <i>A</i>; the jig is then shifted to the
-left until the plug in <i>B</i> enters the hole just made. The second
-hole is then drilled and reamed through bushing <i>A</i> and this
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</span>
-drilling and shifting of the jig is continued until the last hole is
-finished. The distance between the last hole and the original end hole
-at the left is next tested by attempting to insert close-fitting plugs
-through both bushings. Evidently, if there were any inaccuracy in the
-spacing of the bushings, this would be multiplied as many times as the
-jig was shifted, the error being accumulative. To illustrate how the
-error accumulates, suppose that the bushings were 0.001 inch too far
-apart; then the distance to the first hole would be 2.001 inch, to the
-second hole, 4.002 inch, and finally the distance from the first to the
-sixth hole would be 10.005 inches; consequently, the distance between
-the sixth and seventh holes would equal 12-10.005 = 1.995 inch, or
-0.005 inch less than the required spacing, assuming, for the sake of
-illustration, that the first and last holes were exactly 12 inches
-apart. In case of an error of 0.005 inch, the bushings would be set
-closer together an amount equal to one-fifth of this error, as near as
-could be determined with a micrometer, and all of the holes would then
-be re-reamed.</p>

-<h3>Methods of Accurately Dividing<br /> a Circle</h3>
-
-<p>Sometimes it is necessary to machine a number of holes in a plate so
-that all the holes are on a circle or equi-distant from a central
-point, and also the same distance apart, within very small limits. A
-simple method of spacing holes equally is illustrated at <i>A</i>,
-<a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>. A number of buttons equal to the number of holes
-required are ground and lapped to exactly the same diameter, preferably by
-mounting them all on an arbor and finishing them at the same time. The ends
-should also be made square with the cylindrical surface of the button.
-When these buttons are finished, the diameter is carefully measured and
-this dimension is subtracted from the diameter of the circle on which
-the holes are to be located, in order to obtain the diameter <i>d</i>
-(see illustration). A narrow shoulder is then turned on the plate to be
-bored, the diameter being made exactly equal to dimension <i>d</i>. By
-placing the buttons in contact with this shoulder, they are accurately
-located radially and can then be set equi-distant from each other by
-the use of a micrometer. In this particular case, it would be advisable
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</span>
-to begin by setting the four buttons which are 90 degrees apart and
-then the remaining four. The buttons are next used for setting the work
-preparatory to boring. (See “<a href="#BUTTON">Button Method of Accurately
-Locating Work</a>.”)</p>

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 22</b>. Four Methods
- of Accurately Dividing a Circle</p>
-</div>
-
-<h3>Correcting Spacing Errors<br /> by Split Ring Method</h3>
-
-<p>Another method of securing equal spacing for holes in indexing wheels,
-etc., is illustrated at <i>B</i>, <a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>. This method,
-however, is not to be recommended if the diameter of the circle on which the
-holes are to be located, must be very accurate. The disk or ring in
-which the holes are required, is formed of two sections <i>e</i> and
-<i>f</i>, instead of being one solid piece. The centers for the holes
-are first laid out as accurately as possible on ring <i>e</i>. Parts
-<i>e</i> and <i>f</i> are then clamped together and the holes are
-drilled through these two sections. Obviously, when the holes are
-laid out and drilled in this way, there will be some error in the
-spacing, and, consequently, all of the holes would not match, except
-when plate <i>e</i> is in the position it occupied when being drilled.
-Whatever errors may exist in the spacing can be eliminated, however,
-by successively shifting plate <i>e</i> to different positions and
-re-reaming the holes for each position. A taper reamer is used and
-two pins should be provided having the same taper as the reamer. Ring
-<i>e</i> is first located so that a hole is aligned quite accurately
-with one in the lower plate. The ring is then clamped and the hole is
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</span>
-partly reamed, the reamer being inserted far enough to finish the hole
-in plate <i>e</i> and also cut clear around in the upper part of plate
-<i>f</i>. One of the taper pins is then driven into this hole and then
-a hole on the opposite side is partly reamed, after which the other pin
-is inserted. The remaining holes are now reamed in the same way, and
-the reamer should be fed in to the same depth in each case. If a pair
-of holes is considerably out of alignment, it may be necessary to run
-the reamer in to a greater depth than was required for the first pair
-reamed, and in such a case all the holes should be re-reamed to secure
-a uniform size.</p>
-
-<p>The next step in this operation is to remove the taper pins and clamps
-or turn index plate <i>e</i> one hole and again clamp it in position.
-The reaming process just described is then repeated; the holes on
-opposite sides of the plate are re-reamed somewhat deeper, the taper
-pins are inserted, and then all of the remaining holes are re-reamed
-to secure perfect alignment for the new position of the plate. By
-repeating this process of shifting plate <i>e</i> and re-reaming
-the holes, whatever error that may have existed originally in the
-spacing of the holes, will practically be eliminated. It would be very
-difficult, however, to have these holes located with any great degree
-of accuracy, on a circle of given diameter.</p>
-
-<h3>Circular Spacing by Contact<br /> of Uniform Disks</h3>
-
-<p>When an accurate indexing or dividing wheel is required on a machine,
-the method of securing accurate divisions of the circle illustrated
-at <i>C</i>, <a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>, is sometimes employed. There is a
-series of circular disks or bushings equal in number to the divisions required,
-and these disks are all in contact with each other and with a circular
-boss or shoulder on the plate to which they are attached. The space
-between adjacent disks is used to accurately locate the dividing wheel,
-engagement being made with a suitable latch or indexing device. When
-making a dividing wheel of this kind, all of the disks are ground and
-lapped to the same diameter and then the diameter of the central boss
-or plate is gradually reduced until all of the disks are in contact
-with each other and with the boss. For an example of the practical
-application of this method see “<a href="#ORIGIN">Originating a Precision Dividing Wheel</a>.”</p>
-
-<h3>Spacing by Correcting the<br /> Accumulated Error</h3>
-
-<p>Another indexing method of spacing holes equi-distant, is illustrated
-by the diagram at <i>D</i>, <a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>. An accurately fitting
-plug is inserted in the central hole of the plate in which holes are required.
-Two arms <i>h</i> are closely fitted to this plug but are free to
-rotate and are provided with a fine-pitch screw and nut at the outer
-ends for adjusting the distance between the arms. Each arm contains an
-accurately made, hardened steel bushing <i>k</i> located at the same
-radial distance from the center of the plate. These bushings are used
-as a guide for the drill and reamer when machining the holes in the plate.</p>
-
-<p>To determine the center-to-center distance between the bushings, divide
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</span>
-360 by twice the number of holes required; find the sine corresponding
-to the angle thus obtained, and multiply it by the diameter of the
-circle upon which the holes are located. For example, if there were to
-be eleven holes on a circle 8 inches in diameter, the distance between
-the centers of the bushings would equal</p>
-
-<table class="fontsize_120 no-wrap" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary=" " cellpadding="0" >
- <tbody><tr>
- <td class="tdc">360</td>
- <td class="tdl" rowspan="2">&nbsp;= 16.36 degrees.</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td class="tdc over">2 × 11</td>
- </tr>
- </tbody>
-</table>
-
-<p class="no-indent">The sine of 16.36 degrees is 0.2815, and 0.2815 ×
-8 = 2.252 inches. The arms are adjusted to locate the centers of the
-bushings this distance apart, by placing closely fitting plugs in the
-bushings and measuring from one plug to another with a micrometer or
-vernier caliper. Of course, when taking this measurement, allowance is
-made for the diameter of the plugs.</p>
-
-<p>After the arms are set, a hole is drilled and reamed; an accurately
-fitting plug is then inserted through the bushing and hole to secure
-the arms when drilling and reaming the adjacent hole. The radial arms
-are then indexed one hole so that the plug can be inserted through one
-of the arms and the last hole reamed. The third hole is then drilled
-and reamed, and this operation is repeated for all of the holes.
-Evidently, if the center-to-center distance between the bushings is
-not exactly right, the error will be indicated by the position of the
-arms relative to the last hole and the first one reamed; moreover,
-this error will be multiplied as many times as there are holes. For
-instance, if the arms were too far apart, the difference between
-the center-to-center distance of the last pair of holes and the
-center-to-center distance of the bushings in the arms, would equal, in
-this particular case, eight times the error, and the arms should be
-re-adjusted accordingly. Larger bushings would then be inserted in the
-arms and the holes re-reamed, this operation being repeated until the
-holes were all equi-distant.</p>
-
-<p>As will be seen, the value of this method lies in the fact that it
-shows the accumulated error. Thus, if the arms were 0.0005 inch too far
-apart, the difference between the first and last hole would equal 8 ×
-0.0005 = 0.004 inch. This same principle of dividing can be applied in
-various ways. For instance, the radial arms if slightly modified, could
-be used for drilling equally-spaced holes in the periphery or disk of a
-plate, or, if a suitable marking device were attached, a device of this
-kind could be used for accurately dividing circular parts.</p>
-
-<h3 id="ORIGIN">Originating a Precision Dividing Wheel</h3>
-
-<p>There are various methods employed for making accurate indexing wheels
-for a definite number of divisions. One of these methods, suitable
-particularly for small numbers of divisions, employs a split wheel with
-a series of taper holes reamed through the two divisions. By shifting
-the two divisions from point to point (as explained in connection with
-sketch <i>B</i>, <a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>) and reaming and re-reaming the
-taper holes at each shifting, they may finally be brought very accurately into
-position. Another method that has been employed consists in clamping
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</span>
-about the rim of the dividing wheel a number of precisely similar
-blocks, fitting close to each other and to the wheel itself. These
-blocks are then used for locating the wheel in each of its several
-positions in actual work. A third and simpler method (a modification
-of the one last described) consists in grinding a series of disks and
-clamping them around a rim of such diameter that the disks all touch
-each other and the rim simultaneously, as explained in connection with
-sketch <i>C</i>, <a href="#FIG_22">Fig. 22</a>. The wheel described in
-the following, which is illustrated in <a href="#FIG_23">Fig. 23</a>,
-was made in this way.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_23" src="images/i_28.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="518" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 23</b>. Precision Dividing Wheel</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>Disks <i>A</i> are clamped against an accurately ground face of the
-wheel <i>B</i> and are supposed to just touch each other all around,
-and to be each of them in contact with the ground cylindrical surface
-at <i>x</i>. They are held in proper position by bolts <i>C</i> and
-nuts <i>D</i>. The bolts fit loosely in the holes of the disks or
-bushings <i>A</i> so that the latter are free to be located as may be
-desired with reference to the bolts.</p>
-
-<p>One or two improvements in the construction of this type of dividing
-wheel may be noted before proceeding to a description of the way in
-which it is made. For one thing, instead of having an indexing bolt
-enter the V-space between two adjoining disks, a smaller diameter
-<i>y</i> is ground on each of them, over which locking finger or pawl
-passes, holding the wheel firmly from movement in either direction.
-This construction has the advantage of a probable lessening of error by
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</span>
-locating on each bushing instead of between two bushings; moreover, it
-gives a better holding surface and better holding angles than would be
-the case if this smaller diameter were not provided.</p>
-
-<p>A second improvement lies in the method of clamping the bushings
-<i>A</i> in place. Instead of providing each bolt with a separate
-washer, a ring <i>F</i> is used. This ring fits closely on a seat
-turned to receive it on the dividing wheel <i>B</i>. When one bushing
-<i>A</i> has been clamped in place, the disk is locked from movement so
-that there is no possibility, in clamping the remaining bushings, of
-having their location disturbed in the slightest degree by the turning
-of the nuts in fastening them in place.</p>
-
-<p>The bushings <i>A</i>, of which there were in this case 24, were all
-ground exactly to the required diameters on their locating and locking
-surfaces. The important things in this operation are, first, that the
-large or locating diameter of the bushing should be exactly to size;
-and second, that this surface should be in exact alignment with the
-diameter in which the locking is done; and, finally, that the face of
-the bushing should be squared with the cylindrical surfaces. A refined
-exactness for the diameter of the locking surfaces is not so important,
-as the form of locking device provided allows slight variations at this
-point without impairment of accuracy. This dimension was kept within
-very close limits, however. The truth of the two cylindrical surfaces
-and the face of the bushing was assured by finishing all these surfaces
-in one operation on the grinding machine.</p>
-
-<p>The sizing of the outer diameter of the bushing, which was 1.158 inch,
-must be done so accurately that it was not thought wise to trust to
-the ordinary micrometer caliper. An indexing device was therefore made
-having a calipering lever with a long end, in the ratio of 10 to 1,
-which actuated the plunger of a dial test indicator of the well-known
-type made by the Waltham Watch Tool Co. The thousandth graduations
-on the dial of this indicator would then read in ten-thousandths,
-permitting readings to be taken to one-half or one-quarter of this
-amount. The final measurements with this device were all taken after
-dipping the bushings in water of a certain temperature, long enough to
-give assurance that this temperature was universal in all the parts
-measured. It will be understood, of course, in this connection, that
-getting the diameter of these bushings absolutely to 1.158 inch was
-not so important as getting them all exactly alike, whether slightly
-over or slightly under this dimension; hence, the precaution taken in
-measurement.</p>
-
-<p>Wheel <i>B</i> was next ground down nearly to size, great care being
-taken that it should run exactly concentric with the axis. As soon as
-the diameter of the surface <i>x</i> was brought nearly to the required
-dimension as obtained by calculation, the disks were tried in place.
-The first one was put in position with its loose hole central on the
-bolt and clamped in place under ring <i>F</i>. The next bushing was
-then pressed up against it and against the surface <i>x</i> of the
-wheel and clamped in place. The third one was similarly clamped in
-contact with its neighboring bushing and the wheel, and so on, until
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</span>
-the whole circle was completed. It was then found that the last disk
-would not fill the remaining space. This required the grinding off of
-some stock from surface <i>x</i>, and a repetition of the fitting of the
-bushings <i>A</i> until they exactly filled the space provided for them.</p>

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 24</b>. Precision Dividing
- Wheel and its Indexing Mechanism</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>This operation required, of course, considerably more skill than a
-simple description of the job would indicate. One of the points that
-had to be carefully looked out for was the cleaning of all the surfaces
-in contact. A bit of dust or lint on one of the surfaces would throw
-the fitting entirely out. The temperature of the parts was another
-important consideration. As an evidence of the accuracy with which the
-work was done, it might be mentioned that it was found impossible to do
-this fitting on a bench on the southern or sunny side of the shop, the
-variations of temperature between morning and noon, and between bright
-sunshine and passing clouds, being such that the disks would not fit
-uniformly. The variation from these minute temperature changes resulted
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</span>
-from the different coefficients of expansion of the iron wheel and the
-steel bushings. The obvious thing to do would be to build a room for
-this work kept at a constant temperature and preferably that of the
-body, so that the heat of the body would make no difference in the
-results. It was found sufficient in this case, however, to do the work
-on the northern side of the shop where the temperature was more nearly
-constant, not being affected by variations in sunshine.</p>
-
-<p>The dividing wheel, the construction of which has just been described,
-was made by the Fellows Gear Shaper Co. It is used for indexing the
-Fellows gear cutters in the machine in which the teeth are ground. The
-indexing mechanism of this machine is shown in <a href="#FIG_24">Fig. 24</a>.
-It is operated by a handle or lever pinned to rock-shaft <i>H</i>, to
-which is keyed arm <i>J</i>. Pivoted to <i>J</i> is a pawl <i>K</i>
-engaging the teeth of ratchet <i>L</i>, which revolves loosely on shaft
-<i>H</i>. This ratchet <i>L</i> controls the movement of locking finger
-<i>E</i>. The parts are shown in their normal or locked position in the
-engraving.</p>
-
-<p>As the handle on shaft <i>H</i> is pulled in the direction indicated by
-the arrow, arm <i>J</i> is raised, carrying the ratchet wheel around to
-the right. This allows flat spring <i>M</i> to drop off of the ratchet
-tooth, permitting helical spring <i>O</i> to raise latch <i>E</i> and
-thus leave the wheel free. The continued movement of the hand-lever
-and of rock-shaft <i>H</i>, by means of gear <i>N</i>, intermediate
-pinion <i>P</i> and gear <i>Q</i>, causes the indexing pawl <i>R</i>,
-which is pivoted to gear <i>Q</i> and acts on the head of one of the
-bolts <i>C</i> (<a href="#FIG_23">see Fig. 23</a>), to index the wheel
-one step. Just before reaching its new location the new tooth of
-ratchet wheel <i>L</i> coming up, bears down on the top of spring
-<i>M</i>, pressing latch <i>E</i> into place against the tension of
-coil spring <i>O</i>. By this means the wheel is locked in position.</p>
-
-<p>When the operator pushes the handle on shaft <i>H</i> back again to
-its position of rest, the pawl <i>R</i> is retracted into position to
-act on the next bolt head for the next indexing. Star-wheel <i>L</i>
-remains stationary on this backward movement, being prevented from
-revolving by the notch on the top of the tooth into which spring
-<i>M</i> fits. Pawl <i>K</i> on its return engages with the next tooth
-of this wheel, ready for the next indexing operation.</p>
-
-<p>A slight rotary adjustment of dividing wheel <i>B</i>, independent of
-this indexing mechanism, is required for the feeding of the machine.
-This is accomplished by the end movement of latch <i>E</i>, which is
-pivoted in slide <i>S</i>. This slide is pressed to the right by spring
-plunger <i>T</i>, and is adjusted positively in the other direction
-by feed-screw <i>U</i>, which is finely graduated to permit accurate
-adjustment. The accuracy in indexing obtained by the use of a wheel
-thus made was required to bring the finished cutters within the very
-narrow limits allowed for them in the final inspection.</p>

-<p>It is often desirable to perform boring operations on the milling

-the lathe, and also a variety of smaller work, can often be bored

-horizontal planes, can be made with considerable accuracy by the direct
-use of the graduated feed-screw dials. It is good practice, however,
-when making adjustments in this way, to check the accuracy of the
-setting by measuring the center distances between the holes directly.
-For the purpose of obtaining fine adjustments when boring on the
-milling machine, the Brown &amp; Sharpe Mfg. Co. makes special scales and
-verniers that are attached to milling machines, so that the table may
-be set by direct measurement. By attaching a scale and vernier to the
-table and saddle, respectively, and a second scale to the column with
-a vernier on the knee, both longitudinal and vertical measurements can
-be made quickly and accurately, and the chance of error resulting from
-inaccuracy of the screw, or from lost motion between the screw and nut,
-is eliminated.</p>
-
-<h3>Checking Location of Holes by<br /> Micrometer-and-plug Method</h3>
-
-<p>One method of checking the accuracy of the location of holes bored in
-the milling machine, is to insert closely fitting ground plugs into the
-bored holes and then determine the center-to-center distance by taking
-a direct measurement across the plugs with a micrometer or vernier
-caliper. For example, if holes were to be bored in a jig-plate, as
-shown in <a href="#FIG_1">Fig. 1</a>, assuming that hole <i>A</i> were finished
-first, the platen would then be moved two inches, as shown by the feed dial;
-hole <i>B</i> would then be bored slightly under size. Plugs should then be
-accurately fitted to these holes, having projecting ends, preferably of
-the same size. By measuring from one of these plugs to the other with a
-vernier or micrometer caliper, the center distance between them can be
-accurately determined, allowance being made, of course, for the radii
-of each plug. If this distance is incorrect, the work can be adjusted
-before finishing <i>B</i> to size, by using the feed-screw dial. After
-hole <i>B</i> is finished, the knee could be dropped 1.5 inch, as shown
-by the vertical feed dial, and hole <i>C</i> bored slightly under size;
-then by the use of plugs, as before, the location of this hole could be
-tested by measuring center distances between <i>C-B</i> and <i>C-A</i>.</p>
-
-<p>An example of work requiring the micrometer-and-plug test, is shown set
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</span>
-up in the milling machine in <a href="#FIG_25">Fig. 25</a>. The large circular
-plate shown has a central hole and it was necessary to bore the outer holes in
-correct relation with the center hole within a limit of 0.0005 inch.
-The center hole was first bored and reamed to size; then an accurately
-fitting plug was inserted and the distances to all the other holes
-were checked by measuring from this plug. This method of testing with
-the plugs is intended to prevent errors which might occur because of
-wear in the feed-screws or nuts, that would cause the graduated dials
-to give an incorrect reading. On some jig work, sufficient accuracy
-could be obtained by using the feed-screw dials alone, that is, without
-testing with the plugs, in which case the accuracy would naturally
-depend largely on the condition of the machine.</p>

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 25</b>. Example of Precision
- Boring on Milling Machine</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>A method that is a modification of the one in which plugs are used
-to test the center distance is as follows: All the holes are first
-drilled with suitable allowance for boring, the location being obtained
-directly by the feed-screw dials. A special boring-tool, the end of
-which is ground true with the shank, is then inserted in the spindle
-and the first hole, as at <i>A</i> in <a href="#FIG_1">Fig. 1</a> is finished,
-after which the platen is adjusted for hole <i>B</i> by using the dial as before.
-A close-fitting plug is then inserted in hole <i>A</i> and the accuracy
-of the setting is obtained by measuring the distance between this plug
-and the end of the boring-tool, which is a combination tool and test
-plug. In a similar manner, the tool is moved from one position to
-another, and, as all the holes have been previously drilled, all are
-bored without removing the tool from the spindle.
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</span></p>
-
-<p>Another modification of the micrometer-and-plug method is illustrated
-in Figs. <a href="#FIG_26">26</a> and <a href="#FIG_27">27</a>.
-It is assumed that the plate to be bored is finished on the edges, and
-that it is fastened to an angle-plate, which is secured to the table
-of the milling machine and set square with the spindle. A piece of
-cold-rolled steel or brass is first fastened in the chuck (which is
-mounted on the spindle) and turned off to any diameter. This diameter
-should preferably be an even number of thousandths, to make the
-calculations which are to follow easier. The turning can be done either
-by holding the tool in the milling machine vise, or by securing it to
-the table with clamps. In either case, the tool should be located near
-the end of the table, so as to be out of the way when not in use.</p>

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 26</b>. Obtaining Vertical
- Adjustment by Means of<br /> Depth Gage and turned Plug in Chuck</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>After the piece in the chuck is trued, the table and knee are adjusted
-until the center of the spindle is in alignment with the center of the
-first hole to be machined. This setting of the jig-plate is effected
-by measuring with a micrometer depth gage from the top and sides of
-the work, to the turned plug, as illustrated in <a href="#FIG_26">Fig. 26</a>.
-When taking these measurements, the radius of the plug in the chuck is, of course,
-deducted. When the plate is set the plug is removed from the chuck and
-the first hole drilled and bored or reamed to its proper size. We shall
-assume that the holes are to be located as shown by the detail view,
-<a href="#FIG_26">Fig. 26</a>, and that hole <i>A</i> is the first one bored.
-The plug is then again inserted in the chuck and trued with the tool, after which
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[Pg 35]</span>
-it is set opposite the place where the second hole <i>B</i> is to be
-bored; this is done by inserting an accurately fitting plug in hole
-<i>A</i> and measuring from this plug to the turned piece in the chuck,
-with an outside micrometer as indicated in <a href="#FIG_27">Fig. 27</a>.
-Allowance is, of course, again made for the radii of the two plugs. The
-horizontal measurement can be taken from the side of the work with a
-depth gage as before. The plug is then removed and the hole drilled and
-bored to the proper size. The plug is again inserted in the chuck and
-turned true; the table is then moved vertically to a position midway
-between <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>, and then horizontally to the proper
-position for hole <i>C</i>, as indicated by the depth gage from the
-side of the work. The location can be verified by measuring the center
-distances <i>x</i> with the micrometer. In a similar manner holes
-<i>D</i>, <i>E</i>, <i>F</i> and <i>G</i> are accurately located.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>If the proper allowances are made for the variation in the size of the
-plug, which, of course, is made smaller each time it is trued, and if
-no mistakes are made in the calculations, this method is very accurate.
-Care should be taken to have the gibs on all sides fairly tight at the
-beginning, and these should not be tightened after each consecutive
-alignment, as this generally throws the work out a few thousandths. If
-the reductions in the size of the plug, each time it is turned, are
-confusing, new plugs can be used each time a test is made, or the end
-of the original plug can be cut off so that it can be turned to the
-same diameter for every test. If the center distances <i>x</i> are not
-given, it is, of course, far more convenient to make all the geometric
-calculations before starting to work.
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[Pg 36]</span></p>

-<h3>The Button-and-plug Method</h3>
-
-<p>The use of the button method as applied to the milling machine, is
-illustrated in <a href="#FIG_28">Fig. 28</a>, where a plain jig-plate
-is shown set up for boring. The jig, with buttons <i>B</i> accurately
-located in positions corresponding to the holes to be bored, is clamped
-to the angle-plate <i>A</i> that is set at right angles to the spindle.
-Inserted in the spindle there is a plug <i>P</i>, the end of which is
-ground to the exact size of the indicating buttons. A sliding sleeve
-<i>S</i> is accurately fitted to this plug and when the work is to be
-set for boring a hole, the table and knee of the machine are adjusted
-until the sleeve <i>S</i> will pass over the button representing
-the location of the hole, which brings the button and spindle into
-alignment. When setting the button in alignment, all lost motion or
-backlash should be taken up in the feed-screws. For instance, if the
-button on the jig should be a little higher than the plug in the
-spindle, do not lower the knee until the bushing slips over the button,
-but lower the knee more than is required and then raise it until the
-bushing will pass over the button. This same rule should be followed
-for longitudinal adjustments.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_28" src="images/i_36.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="443" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 28</b>. Accurate Method
- of Aligning Spindle with Button on Jig-Plate</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>After the button is set by this method, it is removed and the plug in
-the spindle is replaced by a drill and then by a boring-tool or reamer
-for finishing the hole to size. In a similar manner the work is set
-for the remaining holes. The plug <i>P</i> for the spindle must be
-accurately made so that the outer end is concentric with the shank,
-and the latter should always be inserted in the spindle in the same
-relative position. With a reasonable degree of care, work can be set
-with considerable precision by this method, providing, of course, the
-buttons are properly set.
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</span></p>
-
-<p>Some toolmakers use, instead of the plug and sleeve referred to, a test
-indicator for setting the buttons concentric with the machine spindle.
-This indicator is attached to and revolves with the spindle, while the
-point is brought into contact with the button to be set. The difficulty
-of seeing the pointer as it turns is a disadvantage, but with care
-accurate results can be obtained.</p>
-
-<h3>Size Block and Gage Method</h3>
-
-<p>Another method which can at times be employed for accurately
-locating a jig-plate in different positions on an angle-plate, is shown
-in <a href="#FIG_29">Fig. 29</a>. The angle-plate is, of course, set at
-right angles to the spindle and depth gages and size blocks are used
-for measuring directly the amount of adjustment. Both the angle-plate
-and work should have finished surfaces on two sides at right angles
-to each other, from which measurements can be taken. After the first
-hole has been bored, the plate is adjusted the required distance both
-horizontally and vertically, by using micrometer depth gages, which
-should preferably be clamped to the angle-plate. If the capacity of the
-gages is exceeded, measurements may be taken by using standard size
-blocks in conjunction with the depth gages.</p>

- Edges of Angle-Plate<br /> by means of Depth Gages and Size Blocks</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>It is frequently necessary to bore holes in cast jig-plates or machine
-parts, which either have irregularly shaped or unfinished edges. A good
-method of locating such work is illustrated in <a href="#FIG_30">Fig. 30</a>.
-The part to be bored is attached to an auxiliary plate <i>A</i> which should
-have parallel sides and at least two edges which are straight and at right
-angles to each other. This auxiliary plate with the work, is clamped
-against an accurate angle-plate <i>B</i>, which should be set square
-with the axis of the machine spindle. A parallel strip is bolted to the
-angle-plate and the inner edge is set square with the machine table.
-After the first hole is bored, the work is located for boring the other
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[Pg 38]</span>
-to the edge of the auxiliary plate, and horizontal measurements
-<i>y</i> between the parallel and the plate. These measurements,
-if quite large, might be taken with micrometer gages, whereas, for
-comparatively small adjustments, size blocks might be more convenient.</p>
-
-<h3>Vernier Height Gage and Plug Method</h3>
-
-<p>When a vernier height gage is available, it can often be used to
-advantage for setting work preparatory to boring in a milling machine.
-One advantage of this method is that it requires little in the way of
-special equipment. The work is mounted on an angle-plate or directly
-on the platen, depending on its form, and at one end an angle-plate is
-set up with its face parallel to the spindle. An accurately finished
-plug is inserted in the spindle and this plug is set vertically from
-the platen and horizontally from the end angle-plate, by measuring with
-the vernier height gage. After the plug is set for each hole, it is, of
-course, removed and the hole drilled and bored or reamed.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">

- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 30</b>. Method of Holding and
- Locating Casting<br /> of Irregular Shape, for Boring Holes</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>The way the plug and height gage is used is clearly illustrated in
-Figs. <a href="#FIG_31">31</a> and <a href="#FIG_32">32</a>.
-The work, in this particular case, is a small jig. This is clamped
-directly to the machine table and at one end an angle-plate is also
-bolted to the table. This angle-plate is first set parallel with
-the traverse of the saddle or in line with the machine spindle. To
-secure this alignment, an arbor is inserted in the spindle and a test
-indicator is clamped to it by gripping the indicator between bushings
-placed on the arbor. The table is then moved longitudinally until the
-contact point of the indicator is against the surface plate; then by
-traversing the saddle crosswise, any lack of parallelism between the
-surface of the angle-plate and the line of saddle traverse will be
-shown by the indicator.

-<h3>Locating Holes to be Bored<br /> from Center-punch Marks</h3>
-
-<p>The problem of accurately locating holes to be bored on the milling
-machine has received much attention, and the method generally used when
-accuracy has been required is the button method, which was previously
-described. So much time is required for doing the work by this method,
-however, that numerous efforts have been made to obtain equally good
-results in other ways.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter">
- <img id="FIG_33" src="images/i_40.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" />
- <p class="center space-below2"><b>Fig. 33</b>. Diagram Illustrating Rapid
- but Accurate Method of<br /> Locating Holes to be bored on Milling Machine</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>The increasing demand for rapidity combined with accuracy and a minimum
-liability of error, led to the development of the system described in
-the following: A center-punch mark takes the place of the button, from
-which to indicate the work into the proper position for boring. The
-fundamental principle involved is to lay out, accurately, two lines
-at right angles to each other, and correctly center-punch the point
-where they intersect. With proper care, lines may be drawn with a
-vernier height gage at right angles, with extreme accuracy, the chief
-difficulty being to accurately center the lines where they cross. For
-semi-accurate work this may be done with a common center-punch but
-where extreme accuracy is required this method is not applicable, as
-the average man is incapable of marking the point of intersection
-accurately.</p>
-
-<p>The diagram, <a href="#FIG_33">Fig. 33</a>, illustrates, in a simple way, the
-procedure adopted in laying out work by this system. The base <i>E</i> is in
-contact with a surface plate while the line <i>BB</i> is drawn with a
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</span>
-height gage; then with side <i>F</i> on the plate the line <i>AA</i> is
-drawn. It will be seen that these lines will be at right angles to each
-other, if the bases <i>E</i> and <i>F</i> are square. Work done by this
-method must have two working surfaces or base lines, and these must
-be at right angles to each other. There is no difficulty in drawing
-the locating lines <i>AA</i> and <i>BB</i> correctly, either with a
-vernier height gage or with a special micrometer gage reading to 0.0001
-inch, the only difficult element being to accurately center-punch the
-lines where they intersect as at <i>D</i>. It is assumed that two holes
-are to be bored, so that the intersection at <i>C</i> would also be
-center-punched.</p>
-
-<p>The scriber point of the height gage should be ground so that it
-will make a V-shaped line, as shown by the enlarged sketch <i>G</i>,
-rather than one which would resemble a saw-tooth, as at <i>H</i>, if a
-cross-section of it were examined with a microscope. This is important
-because when the lines are V-shaped, an accurate point of intersection
-is obtained.</p>

- </div>
-</div>
-
-<p>As it is quite or almost impossible to accurately center-punch the
-intersection of even two correctly drawn lines, by ordinary means, the
-punch shown in Figs. <a href="#FIG_34">34</a> and <a href="#FIG_36">36</a>
-was designed and an extended experience with it on a very high grade
-of work has demonstrated its value for the purpose. It consists
-essentially of a small center-punch <i>O</i> (<a href="#FIG_36">Fig.
-36</a>) held in vertical position by a holder <i>P</i> which is knurled
-to facilitate handling. Great care should be exercised in making this
-tool to have the body of the punch straight, and to have it stand at
-right angles to the surface to be operated upon, for the slightest
-inclination will cause the finished hole to be incorrect, no matter how
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</span>
-carefully the lines are drawn. The 60-degree point must be ground true
-with the axis. The holder for the punch stands on three legs, located
-as indicated, and ground accurately to a taper fit in the holder, where
-they are secured by watch screws bearing on their tops. The lower ends
-are hardened, and terminate in an angular point of 55 degrees (the
-point of the vernier scriber being 60 degrees). The edges are sharp,
-and slightly rounded at the ends, so that the legs will slide along
-a line smoothly. The points <i>V</i> and <i>U</i> (<a href="#FIG_36">Fig. 36</a>)
-have edges that are in line with each other, while the point <i>T</i> has an edge
-at right angles to the other two. The center of the punch is located at
-equal distances from all the legs, and is held off the work normally by
-a leather friction acted upon by a set-screw in the side of holder <i>P</i>.</p>

-
-<p>If this tool is placed upon lines of the form shown at <i>G</i>, <a href="#FIG_33">Fig. 33</a>,
-the legs <i>V</i> and <i>U</i> may be slid along horizontal line
-<i>B-B</i>, <a href="#FIG_33">Fig. 33</a>, until the sharp edge of leg <i>T</i>
-drops into line <i>A-A</i>. When this occurs the punch <i>O</i> is lightly tapped
-with a hammer, and the resulting mark will be accurately located in the
-center of the intersection of the lines. It is good practice to make
-the work very smooth before drawing the lines, and after laying them
-out, to stone them so as to remove the slight burr raised in drawing
-them. A drop of oil is then rubbed into the lines, and the surplus
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</span>
-wiped off. This procedure permits points <i>V</i> and <i>U</i> to run
-very smoothly along the line, and the burr having been removed, the
-edge of leg <i>T</i> drops into the line very readily with a slight
-click. As it is not advisable to strike punch <i>O</i> more than a
-very light blow, it marks the work but slightly, and a more distinct
-indentation is made with the follower punch shown in Figs.
-<a href="#FIG_35">35</a> and <a href="#FIG_37">37</a>.
-This punch is made like the previous one, so that it will stand at
-right angles to the work. The sectional view (<a href="#FIG_37">Fig. 37</a>) shows
-the punch <i>A</i> supported by the holder <i>E</i> which has four legs cut away
-on the sides so that the point of the punch may be seen. When this
-punch is in position, it is struck a sufficiently heavy blow to make a
-distinctly visible mark. The work is now ready to be placed upon the
-work table of the milling machine, and indicated for boring the holes,
-an indicator being used in the milling machine spindle.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>An indicator which has been found especially valuable for this purpose
-is shown in Figs. <a href="#FIG_38">38</a> and <a href="#FIG_39">39</a>.
-It is of the concentric centering type, and with it the work is
-brought concentric with the axis of the spindle. The arbor <i>I</i>
-is provided with a threaded nose on which disk <i>D</i> is screwed.
-This disk has four holes in its rim, equally-spaced from each other.
-Hardened, ground, and lapped bushings <i>b</i> are put into these
-holes to receive plug <i>A</i> which is made a gage-fit both in these
-holes and in hole <i>B</i> in the outer end of sector <i>C</i>. This
-sector is held by a split sleeve to the barrel <i>L</i> which carries
-the 60-degree centering-rod <i>K</i> that comes into contact with the
-work to be bored. The spherical base of barrel <i>L</i> fits into a
-corresponding concave seat in the nose of the arbor at <i>H</i>, and
-is held in place by a spring <i>E</i> which connects at one end to the
-cylindrical stud in the base of the barrel, and at the other to the
-axial rod <i>M</i> by which it and the other connecting parts may be
-drawn into place, and held by the headless set-screw <i>J</i>, bearing
-on a flat spot on the tang end of the rod.</p>
-
-<p>Now, if plug <i>A</i> is removed from bushing <i>b</i> the point of the
-centering-rod <i>K</i> may be made to describe a circle. At some point
-<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</span>
-within this circle is located the center-punch mark on the work to be
-bored. The holes in the rim of the faceplate all being exactly the
-same distance from an axial line through both the arbor <i>I</i> and
-centering-rod <i>K</i>, it follows that the center mark on the work
-must be so located by horizontal and vertical movements of the work
-table that pin <i>A</i> may be freely entered in all the four holes in
-the rim of disk <i>D</i>. When that occurs, the center coincides with
-the axis of the spindle.</p>
-
-<p>The point of the center-punch <i>A</i> (<a href="#FIG_37">Fig. 37</a>) should
-have an angle slightly greater than the angle on the centering-rod <i>K</i>, as it
-is impossible to locate the work in the preliminary trials so that the
-center of the work will be coincident with the axis of the spindle, and
-unless the precaution mentioned is taken, the true center on the work
-is liable to be drawn from its proper location when trying to bring the
-work into such a position that the plug will enter all the holes in the
-disk. As the work being operated on is brought nearer to the proper
-location by the movements of the milling machine table, spring <i>G</i>
-will be compressed, the center rod sliding back into barrel <i>L</i>.
-This spring is made so that it will hold the center against the work
-firmly, but without interfering with the free rotation of the sector
-<i>C</i> around disk <i>D</i>. When the work is located so that the
-plug enters the holes, the gibs of the machine should be tightened up
-and the plug tried once more, to make sure that the knee of the machine
-has not moved sufficiently to cause the work on the table to be out of
-line. The work table is now clamped to prevent accidental horizontal
-shifting, and the work is drilled and bored.</p>

-disk are parallel with the top of the work table. The centering-rods
-are made interchangeable and of various lengths, to reach more or less
-accessible centers. <a href="#FIG_38">Fig. 38</a> shows the indicator
-with one of the long center-rods in the foreground.</p>
-
-<p>The only part of the milling machine on which dependence must be placed
-for accuracy is the hole in the spindle, and this is less liable to get
-out of truth, from wear such as would impair the accuracy, than are the
-knee, table, or micrometer screws. The only moving part is the sector,
-and this, being light, is very sensitive.</p>
-
-<p>A series of 24 holes was laid out and bored in one and one-half day by
-the method described in the foregoing. Measurements across accurately
-lapped plugs in the holes, showed the greatest deviation from truth
-to be 0.0002 inch, and running from that to accuracy so great that no
-error was measurable. This same work with buttons would have required
-considerably more time.</p>

-<p><big><b>Machinery</b></big> is the leading journal in the machine-building
-field and meets the requirements of the mechanical engineer, superintendent,
-designer, toolmaker and machinist, as no other journal does. <span
-class="smcap">Machinery</span> deals exclusively with machine design,
-tool design, machine construction, shop practice, shop systems and shop
-management. The reading matter in <span class="smcap">Machinery</span>
-is written by practical men and edited by mechanical men of long
-practical training.</p>
-
-<p>Each number of <span class="smcap">Machinery</span> contains a
-variety of articles on machine shop practice. These articles include
-carefully prepared descriptions of manufacturing methods and current
-mechanical developments. Shop systems and shop managements are ably
-handled by the foremost writers. Every number contains the most
-extensive and complete record published by any journal, or in any
-form, of new machinery and tools and accessories for the machine shop.
-A special department is devoted to “Letters on Practical Subjects,”
-to which practical mechanics contribute their experiences. There is
-a department of Shop Kinks—brief, concise little contributions which
-contain ideas of value to the man in the shop or at the drafting table.</p>
-
-<p>The mechanical engineer, machine designer and draftsman are also
-well provided for in <span class="smcap">Machinery</span>. Every number
-contains articles on the theory and practice of machine design, on the
-properties of materials, and on labor-saving methods and systems. There
-are reviews of research work in the mechanical field, and valuable
-results of carefully made experiments are recorded.</p>
-
-<p>The supremacy of <span class="smcap">Machinery</span> in the
-mechanical field is due to the care with which all matter offered for
-publication in its pages is scrutinized. Only the <i>best</i> of the
-material offered by mechanical writers is published, and, as a result,
-its pages contain the most authoritative, practical and up-to-date
-mechanical information.</p>

-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope

-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg&#8482;,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
