Milling – Slotting Attachment

A slotting attachment converts the rotary motion of the spindle into reciprocating motion of the ram by means of an eccentric or crank housed with in the attachment, thus a milling machine can be converted into a slotter by accepting a single point slotted tool at the bottom end of the ram and is conveniently used for cutting internal or external key ways, spines, etc. The attachment is bolted on the face of the column and can also be swiveled at an angle for machining angular surfaces. The length of stroke of the ram can also be adjusted.
