HIGH DUTY SLAB MILLING MACHINE. Improved shop methods on our railroads have made it nec-essary to practically redesign many of the machine tools dur-ing the past few years. The more recent designs of slabmilling machines have met with considerable favor and therange of work handled by them has been greatly older type machines were, as a rule, hardly stiff enoughto use the ordinary steel cutters to advantage, but with thestronger and stiffer machines, used in connection with highspeed steel cutters, it has been found economical in many in-stances to do work formerly done only on planers, and insome cases a considerable saving has been made by removing
