A process for replicating a surface on a machine base support surface relative to a reference surface, comprising the steps of providing a reference surface on the machine base; providing a fixture having a surface; positioning the fixture surface over the support surface to a predetermined position in close proximity to the support surface so that a gap is maintained between the fixture surface and the support surface; adjusting the fixture surface relative to the reference surface such that the fixture surface is precisely parallel with the reference surface; filling the space between the fixture surface and the support surface with flowable hardenable substance; permitting the substance to cure; removing the fixture.

Machine tool assembly having replicated support surfaces

The process for securing a machine tool bed to a base includes the steps of providing a base having a horizontally disposed first surface wherein a plurality of cooperating grooves are disposed. A selected quantity of hardenable grout material is deposited into the grooves. A bed has a second surface from which a plurality of tongues extend, and each tongue has side surfaces which are relatively rougher than the associated distal surface. The bed is horizontally positioned above the base so that each tongue is received in an associated groove and each distal surface is spaced from the associated underlying groove, thereby causing the grout material to rise by an amount insufficient to contact the second surface. The bed is maintained spaced above the base until the grout material has hardened and thereby binds each side surface but not the associated distal surface to the base.

Apparatus and process for assembling a machine tool and machine tool

Machine tool bed

A two slide multiple axis machine comprising a machine tool bed having at least two parallel, spaced apart, longitudinal ways; a spindle mount fixedly attached to the bed; a rotateable spindle mounted in the spindle mount at a distance from the bed and having an axis of rotation parallel to the axis of the ways and adapted for receiving and detachably holding a work piece; first tool means engageable with said work piece and displaceably mounted for forward and rearward motion in the first of said ways parallel to the longitudinal axis of said ways; second tool means engageable with said work piece and displaceably mounted for forward and rearward motion in the second of said ways; first way cover means covering the first of said ways and fixedly attached to said first tool means and adapted for movement with said first tool means; and, second way cover means fixedly attached to said second tool means and adapted for movement with said second tool means is disclosed.

Multiple axis slant bed machine

A bar stock feeder has a pneumatic circuit with positive feed and vacuum circuits and uses an air pump to provide vacuum from a pressure line, and is entirely mounted within a single base pedestal to present a readily operable control panel.
