Everything thing you need to know about slotter machine
by
in MetalworkThe slotter machine is one the oldest machine tool that exists, which was invented for BRUNEL. It is much similar to the vertical shaper machines as the ram carrying the slotting tool reciprocates in a vertical guideway of the machine. This machine can produce flat and contour surfaces, slots, and internal grooves. Today we’ll be…
Difference between shaper and planer machine
by
in MetalworkAfter several articles on shaper and planer machines, we realize that there are few differences and many similarities between them. the major difference between them is that, the workpiece is fixed on the table and the tool reciprocates toward the workpiece and cuts off the unwanted material. However, in planer machines the tool stays stationary…
