Pinion Stands feature two output shafts on fixed vertical centers, mounted in anti-friction bearings and driven by a worm gear set. Hardened and ground spur gears mounted on back end of horizontal output shafts are accessible and easily changed to provide the necessary gear ratio for any specific application. Gear ratios can be changed without disassembling the pinion stand. Each pinion stand is a completely self-contained unit with its own oil supply and oil level sight gauge.
Mill Housings are of the open window design for mounting spindles, which are carried in bearing box assemblies with anti-friction bearings and proper lubrication fittings. Top spindle assembly is supported by large diameter adjusting screws equipped with micrometer dials for fast, accurate settings. Engraved scales and pointers permit rapid reference settings.
