Straight tail lathe dogs. A setup is shown with faceplate, drive stud, headstock center, dog and workpiece. Bent tail lathe dog hooked on chuck jaw. A lathe dog is a mechanical device typically made of cast iron, steel or aluminum that transmits rotary motion from a faceplate to a workpiece mounted between centers in a lathe. [1] The tail of ...
They were the MJ744 and MJ917 jig saws, TA990 and TA1162 table saws, and the S980 shaper. In 1939 Walker-Turner started adding an Art Deco redesign to many of the 700, 900, and 1100 series machines. This same year drill presses came to the fore as they began to offer custom multi-headed setups for production work. This year also marked the ...
This word usage is a metaphor derived from the idea of a dog (animal) biting and holding on, the "dog" name derived from the basic idea of how a dog jaw locks on, by the movement of the jaw, or by the presence of many teeth. In engineering the "dog" device has some special engineering work when making it – it is not a simple part to make as ...
Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of milling machines, but may be used on many other machine tools including drill presses, grinders, and boring machines. Common jobs for a dividing head include machining the flutes of a milling cutter , cutting the teeth of a gear , milling curved slots, or drilling a bolt hole circle around the ...
The plates were expendable, so it was not unusual as shown in both photos for a machinist to drill additional holes in the plates for attaching work that could not otherwise be attached. While the dog plates were usually fairly small regardless of the lathe size, the classic face plate is usually matched to the maximum diameter that the lathe ...
A backplate with threads may screw onto a threaded spindle nose (for lathe work) or onto an adapter plate with the same nose, to be mounted on the table of milling machines or surface grinding machines. This "threaded spindle nose" type of mounting was the typical method in the 19th century through 1930s.

Typical table sizes were 9″ × 49″ (Y and X, respectively) and 10″ × 54″. Machine tapers for tool holding included Morse tapers (on early models) and the R8 taper (a widely used standard that Bridgeport created) on most models. Both Morse and R8 allowed for both collets and solid holders, and a drill chuck could be held by either of ...
