This is often of import-ance when grinding complex degrees of hardness of the arti-cles being ground docs not affect the per-fect evenness of the finished work . Themovements of the mechanism being muchmc ire rapid than is the case on a planeror milling machine, there is no time lostin reversing the wheel grinding on boththe forward and backward movement ofthe table. The grinding wheel is heldin an adjustable chuck. This is a meas-ure of safety because it has been fre-quently demonstrated that all wheels oftii i s kind revolving at high velocitiesId not run SHOP FACE GRINDER. MOTOR DRIVEN, STYLE D. our illustration was originally designedfor grinding hardened locomotive guidebars, but this is now only one of itsmany uses, and may be readily appliedto almost every variety of forging or cast-ing that may require a finished straightsurface on any part desired. The ma-chine produces smooth flat finished sur-faces with great rapidity. For generalshop work in removing stock up to %in. in thickness, and where surfaces to beground are not of extensive width, it isin many cases much more rapid and sat-isfactory than a planer, shaper or millingmachine. The machine has already beenfound very serviceable on a wide rangeof work, such as large iron and steelfloor plates, flanged water pipes, metorcases, column bases, lathe legs and thelike. An excellent feature of the machineconsists in its being operated either from The wheel is 30 ins. in diameter
