About this product
The Shaping Machine by National Cutting Tools is a rigid, precision machine tool designed for machining flat surfaces, straight grooves, keyways, and dovetail slides using a single-point reciprocating cutting tool. In toolrooms, maintenance shops, and gear manufacturing facilities, generating internal splines, long keyways, and flat surfaces with expensive milling cutters can be economically unfeasible; a shaping machine achieves these cuts using inexpensive standard HSS or carbide tool bits. Constructed from heavy, close-grained cast iron with wide hand-scraped ram ways, the machine features a rocker-arm quick-return mechanism that drives the ram forward at regulated cutting speed and returns it rapidly on the non-cutting stroke. The swiveling toolhead with clapper box lifts the tool clear on the return stroke to preserve the cutting edge, while automatic table cross-feed delivers uniform feed increments per stroke. Key Features Quick-Return Rocker Arm Mechanism: Optimizes cycle time with a slow forward cutting stroke and rapid return to maximize metal removal efficiency. Hand-Scraped Cast Iron Ram Ways: Deep V-guideways coated with low-friction oil grooves maintain ram straightness over long cutting strokes. Swiveling Toolhead with Clapper Box: Toolhead swivels up to 60 degrees for machining angular bevels and dovetails; clapper box prevents tool drag. Automatic Table Cross-Feed: Mechanical pawl-and-ratchet mechanism advances table automatically on each return stroke. Heavy Universal Swiveling Table: Optional universal table tilts and swivels on multiple axes for compound angle shaping. Multi-Speed Gearbox: Enclosed gear transmission provides four or six ram speeds (strokes per minute) to suit varied workpiece materials. Applications Cutting internal and external keyways, splines, and gear teeth Machining flat horizontal, vertical, and angular surfaces on cast blocks Toolroom fabrication of machine tool slides, gibs, and dovetail ways Maintenance repair machining in railway workshops and steel plants Built under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at our Ludhiana works. Tested for ram stroke parallelism, table squareness, and surface finish before dispatch.
