Filed:
Sep 2, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/300605
Inventors:
George R. Swann - Gibsonia PA

James B. Krebs - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Chick Machine Tool, Inc. - Warrendale PA
International Classification:
B25B 120
US Classification:
269 43
Abstract:
An adaptor member for mounting a column that operably supports at least two vise-like clamping assemblies in a predetermined orientation on a support surface of a milling table. The vise-like clamping assemblies include movable support members that protrude from a corresponding surface of the column and have removable jaw members attached thereto. The adaptor member is equipped with cavities adapted to receive therein the movable support members of a clamping assembly to enable the column to be supported on the adaptor member. Locating members are provided to locate a surface of the column member relative to the adaptor member in a predetermined confronting orientation. The column member is removably attached to the adaptor member using pins that are also used to removably attach the jaw members to their corresponding movable support members.
