Abstract
A spot facing mechanism employs a self centering chuck, a stationary mandrel and housing. Axial feed controls are also stationary when the apparatus is operational. Incremental radial feeding of the tool head is provided, with the degree of feed being adjustable between zero feed and maximum feed. Radial feed rate adjustment controls remain stationary while the apparatus is operating, enabling adjustment of feed rate without having to stop the machine.
