The model 4R Foot/Flange integrates a 1hp AC induction motor with a model 4R BLOCK-HEAD® air bearing spindle in a convenient-to-install package. Featuring a flange for face mounting and a dovetail for foot mounting, the spindle is best suited for such continuous duties as grinding, flycutting, and turning, especially to optical finishes. The spindle is shown with a piloting faceplate. This popular option permits interchanging chucks, collets, and wheel mounts with .000,050” concentricity to the spindle’s axis. Tool presetting and wheel conditioning are made more accurate, and spindle down-time during tool change is minimized, since no manual centering is required.
