B5032 Small Vertical Type Key Way Metal Shaper Machine

B5032 vertical type key way metal shaper metal slotting machine

Description:

Metal slotting machines are specialized tools used for creating grooves or slots in workpieces.During the process, the workpiece is moved longitudinally, laterally, or rotated on the worktable while an inserting tool reciprocates up and down to cut the desired slot. This type of machine tool utilizes a linear motion mechanism that employs the vertical reciprocating motion of the slotting tool to create keyways and holes.

Similar to planers, slotting machines also use single-edged tools (slotting tools) to cut the workpiece. However, planers have a horizontal layout, while slotting machines have a vertical layout. Slotting machines are known for their high productivity and accuracy, making them suitable for processing internal keyways or spline holes in both single and small batch production. They can also be used to create flat, square, or polygonal holes, among other shapes.
