VAN NORMAN ‘AN NORMAN MACHINE TOOL CO., SPRINGFIELD, MASS., U.S.A.The Advantages of Many FLEXIBILITY has for years made the Van Norman Ram Type Universal Miller an essential machine in the tool room, pattern shop, experimental laboratory and machine shop. ‘Thoroughly modern design features —and the Van Norman adjustable cutter head and movable ram — make this new Miller outstanding in the range of its work and the speed and savings with wh ch it handles a series of different operations on the same piece. The combined adjustments of the cutter head and ram provide all the advantages of a vertical and horizontal milling machine in a single compact machine — plus a vital additional ad; ntage — the ability to mill any angle between vertical and horizontal with a standard milling cutter and no chan; ein set-up. Savings in set-up time alone are substantial enough to give Van Norman Ram Type Millers universal preference for tool room and similar work. Accepted studies indicate that set-up time is the largest single source of expense in the tool room. Operators with several different types of milling operations to perform on one piece, spend one-half or more of their time re-setting work and waiting for other types of milling machines.N MILLERS TYPE) Combined in One With a Van Norman in the tool room, most of this non-productive time is eliminated. The operator sets up the job on the table of the Van Norman, and, more often than not, completes all the machining operations on the piece without another set-up. He e bolts and moves the cutter head — not the work. He loosens thr sets the head easily and accurately to any angle from vertical to horizontal. He loosens two clamps and adjusts the ram which carries the head to its working position. With these two adjust- ments he can mill flat surfaces — vertical, horizontal, or any angle between — throughout the full range of the table, Simple attach- ments, which can be put on or taken off in a minute or two, extend the variety of possible operations to include virtually all ma ing required for the most elaborate piece. ‘The No. 12 am Type Universal Miller described on the following pages is the most accurate machine — and the fastest mach we have ever built. It offers substantial economies, substantial advantages in precision, even beyond those which the industry has always expected and gotten from Van Norman Millers.VAN NORMAN ‘Adiuible Cater Head éOe bee coe eee om i =_— > a ; tne — ae Hardened Steet ; * ad enor tle Sod Feed ‘Change Leven Feed Gent Box to nd Whee Peimagent Toble Stops Adjutable leon Tnble Power Feed Relene Table Movement ‘Coneol Leer... flexible...
