MILLING ATTACHMENT<br />

The milling attachment adapts the lathe to<br />

perform milling operations on small work, such as<br />

cutting keyways, slotting screwheads, machining<br />

flats, and milling dovetails. Figure 6-35 illustrates<br />

the setup for milling a dovetail.<br />

The milling cutter is held in an arbor driven by the<br />

lathe spindle. The work is held in a vise on the<br />

milling attachment. The milling attachment is<br />

mounted on the cross-slide and therefore its<br />

movement can be controlled by the longitudinal feed<br />

and cross feed of the lathe. The depth of the cut is<br />

regulated by the longitudinal feed while the length of<br />

the cut is regulated by the cross feed. Vertical motion<br />

is controlled by the adjusting screw at the top of the<br />

attachment. The vise can be set at any angle in a<br />

horizontal or vertical plane. A milling attachment is<br />

unnecessary in shops equipped with milling machines.<br />
