PIPE THREADING AND CUTTING MACHINE The Landis Machine Company, Waynesboro, Pa., has recentlydeveloped and placed on the market a line of pipe threadingand cutting machines, which are attracting considerable attention.•These machines are designed to use the Landis stationary typepipe die heads, which cover a wide range with but one set of pipe. This is due to the fact that the die head and grippingchuck have universal diametrical adjustments, and but one setof chasers is required to cover the range of each die head.
