Slotting machine

Hi guys, I've recently acquired an ORMEROD vertical slotting machine, mainly for keyway work. Its a nice machine capable of an 8 inch stroke, all appears to be working, however I'm not familiar at all with slotting or shaping, does anyone know of any knowledge or literature on the subject? Also I'm looking for some replaceable tip tooling, so i don't have to grind up multiple tool steels for various keyway widths - if there is such a thing?

Any light thrown on the subject would be greatly appreciated  :thumbup: 

Pics to come

Thanks TAB

Hi TAB, I have a couple of PDF books on shapers which I tried to send to you when you first posted, but I am having trouble with filesize problems and combining all the chapters into one doc, I will have another go this weekend, and if I cannot sort it I will use dropbox, Im telling you now so you can clue yerself up on dropbox in case you dont use it!

When I brought my Theil it came with a slotting head.

The head is a bit heavy so trying it out has had to wait. Now that I have  a electric winch mounted on rails above the machine I can now use it  :thumbup:

So the question is, other than for keyways... what can you use a slotting head for?  :scratch:

Cutting internal profiles such as hexagons, squares or splines. The possibilities are quite broad......OZ.
