Abstract
A disk magazine particularly useful as a tool holder for a universal drilling and milling machine comprises a disk having a plurality of tool holders disposed at fixed intervals on the outer perimeter and a drive means for rotating the disk in steps corresponding to the spacing between the tool holders. The disk comprises a connected pair of spaced apart flat plates. In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the plates is an annular plate having recessed regions on its inner periphery and the drive means comprises a Geneva drive mechanism for engaging the recessed regions. This disk magazine can be conveniently mounted on a universal drilling and milling machine with the disk horizontal above the headstock.
