Abstract
A drum cutter mining machine translatable along a longwall conveyor includes an auxiliary cutting drum for breaking up pieces of mineral carried by the longwall conveyor system. The auxiliary cutting drum is supported by a jib and an arm extension affixed in a fixed relationship with a support arm. The auxiliary cutting drum is positioned by the same actuator which pivotally positions the drum-cutter cutting drum at a desired cutting height at the mine roof and other times at the floor. Positioning of the cutting drum at the desired cutting height automatically positioned the auxiliary cutting drum.
