Fig. American Safety Jointer Cylinders American Round Surfacer Cylinder American High Speed Hard Steel Knives 40 American Safety Jointer Cylinders OUR Safety Jointer Cylinders are made in three styles, as illustrated, and are known as our Standard Two-Knife Cylinder, Special Three-Knife Head and Special Four-Capped Head. The first two are of the same construction, the last is simply a square cylinder with the sides capped with bars which give it a round cross section. This cylinder has two sides slotted .which permit the use of moulding cutters (by_ detaching the caps), and two sides with knives. It will be seen that the construction of our two and three-knife safety jointer cylinders is very simple, consisting of a steel forging turned round and with slots planed lengthwise to receive the thin knives and knife clamping blocks with provision for adjusting the knives. In fact, the simplicity and absolute safety of these heads over others have recommended them to many of the best mills everywhere, and they are passed by insurance companies and state inspectors invariably. The Four-Capped Safety Jointer Cylinder with dovetail slots for attaching special knives for variety work is strictly a special head with us, and is furnished on our machines only on special order. The knives furnished with each head depend upon the quality and temper of steel desired. Unless otherwise specified we furnish special steel knives tempered to file cr grind. High speed, hard steel knives are extra. The grade of knife should be specified when ordering the cylinder. American Patent Round Surfacer Cylinders We have been manufacturing Round Surfacer Cylinders for many years and are prepared to supply the most critical users with the best that money can buy. We make them up to 8}4'' in diameter with two, three, four, six and eight knives, the number of knives depending upon the nature of work to be done and the machine to which the head applies. The construction of these heads is simple, consisting of the same fundamental features described above, varying only in detail as the purpose requires. American Thin Special Steel Knives Our thin jointer knives are yi" thick and ground parallel all over. We can furnish them to file or to grind for sharpening. The best knife for surfacers is made from special steel, heat treated by experts with the most modern equipment and is a product recommended for fast feeds and high speed.

The top of table has longitudinal lines to which the guide may be set, for various widths of material, at perfect right angles A with the cut of the heads. pocket is provided with spiral spring to hold a marker to mark the face side of material as the carriage is passed over the ways. The hold-down device is convenient and efficient and the fence may be set to any required angle. The rolls on which the carriage travels are connected from end to end and mounted in a frame, hence the carriage must move perfectly true across the ways. This insures not only an easy movement, no matter where the operator may take hold of the carriage, or how much weight there may be on it, but also perfect work. The carriage is equipped with our Patent Bridge Bar and End Stop Gauge. This effects a large saving of time -- and insures accurate work. The Front or Rear Cut-Off Saw Attach- ment Has a lever by means of which the saw may be adjusted to a graduated scale, while in motion, to cut off the tenons at any desired length. This lever is handy to the operator and results in saving much time, especially on job work. This cut-off attachment is driven by a -- belt running from the cope counter, which belt may be removed when the cut-off saw is not in use. The Cutter-Head Spindles Are 1 %" diameter carrying pulleys 4" diameter by 4X" face, and run in side clamping --boxes 4" long. The cope spindles are Pi" diameter. The Guide Pulley On the rear of the machine which acts on the belt that drives the cope counter is a decided advantage, because it gives this belt better contact & on the pulley on the vertical shaft. The T. L. (self-oiling loose) pulleys are ll"x5X"; speed, 900 R.P.M. Fip.
