(1) _The DOALL machine._ This machine (fig. 23) is used for contour
metal sawing, filing, and polishing. It is a highly adaptable machine
tool for jig work and for making dies. It does the work of a shaper
or milling machine and replaces such operations as nibbling, drilling
holes to make a cut, and torch cutting. Twenty assorted saws, 3/32
to 1/2 inches wide; three flat filebands, 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and
1/2-inch; and three file guides are standard equipment. The machine is
equipped with a 3/4-hp, 208-volt, 3-phase, 60-cycle motor.
(2) _Toolroom lathe._ The 10-inch toolroom lathe (fig. 24) has
a 4-1/2-foot bed and 1-inch collet capacity. It is driven by an
underneath, 3/4-hp, 3-phase, 60-cycle motor. It is equipped with
collet, milling and keyway-cutting, and telescopic-taper attachments,
boring and turning cutters, fine and coarse diamond knurls, tool
holders, and a large and small face plate.
(3) _Extension-bed gap lathe._
(_a_) This 20-by 40-inch gap lathe has a 14-foot bed and a special,
large face plate. With the gap closed, it is used as a regular engine
lathe. (See fig. 25.)
(_b_) The tools and accessories for the lathe include telescoping
taper attachment, boring and cutting bars, end caps, bits, chucks, and
centers. Also, there is a set of metric thread-cutting gears for use
where the metric system is standard. The lathe is driven by a 7-1/2 hp,
3-phase, 60-cycle motor.
(4) _Engine lathe._ The 16-by 54-inch engine lathe (fig. 26) also can
be equipped with special threads including metric, by using special
gearing in the endworks. It is driven by a 3-phase, 60-cycle, 208-volt
motor and is equipped with telescoping taper attachments, boring bars,
cutters, bits, chucks, tool holders, and metric thread-cutting gears.

(5) _Shaper._
(_a_) This 24-inch universal shaper is used for facing surfaces,
notching, keyseating, and the production of flat surfaces on small
parts. (See fig. 27.)
(_b_) The shaper is equipped with bits, holders, table, vise, and
wrench set, and is driven by a 208-volt, 3-phase, 60-cycle motor.
(6) _Radial drill._
(_a_) The radial drill has a 4-foot arm, 11-inch column, and 12 spindle
speeds. (See fig. 28.) It has a range of 15 to 1,200 rpm and is driven
by a 5-hp, 208-volt, 3-phase motor.
(_b_) The drilling capacity of this machine is approximately 2-inches
diameter in cast iron and 1-1/2-inches diameter in steel. Its tapping
capacity is a 2-inch tap in cast iron and 1-1/2-inch tap in steel.
(_c_) Its accessories include a coolant attachment, universal drill
table, drill vise, chuck, and taper shank.
(7) _Milling machine._ The milling machine is used for gear cutting and
jig and die work. The work is done with cutters instead of by sawing
as the DOALL machine does. It is equipped with a 208-volt, 3-phase,
60-phase motor and has slotting and milling attachments, chucks, vise,
arbors and adapters, and a complete set of cutters. (See fig. 29.)
