Fig. 5—Planing End of Boxes in Draw Cut Shaper chined simultaneously, the spindles being set, in this case,at opposite ends of the cross rail. The boxes are securedin the broad face chuck jaws and tlie practice is to first runtwo boring cuts down tlirough the work. The spindle and cutter are operated at 60 turns per min-ute for the boring cuts and a feed of 1/32 in. per revolu-tion is maintained. The depth of chip for the first or rough-ing cut is from j4 in. to yi in. and for the finishing cut1/32 in. on a side. The long cutter shown in operation inFig. 7 is used to finish the babbited face of the box. This
