Claims
- 1. Apparatus for resurfacing a pair of plugs disposed on opposite sides of a saw guide comprising:
- (a) a frame;
- (b) saw guide positioning means for holding the saw guide in a predetermined orientation relative to said frame; and
- (c) upper and lower turntable plates horizontally disposed with respect to said frame and coaxially mounted on a single spindle for effecting resurfacing on opposite sides of said saw guide simultaneously
- (d) motor means having an output shaft, said motor means being resiliently coupled to said frame; and
- (e) belt drive means for coupling said output shaft to said single spindle
- (f) a cutting head situated along an outer rim of each of said turntable plates and carrying a cutting stylus,at least one of said cutting heads having adjustment means for regulating the cutting depth of the stylus mounted on said cutting head.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said saw guide positioning means includes motivation means for automatically moving said plugs into engagement with said abrading means.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said saw guide positioning means includes clamping means for frictionally gripping a portion of said saw guide whereby both fo said plugs are simultaneously exposed to said stylus means.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said clamping means is driven along a linear track by said motivation means.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said motivation means comprises a motor and a pair of chain and sprocket assemblies, and further includes a pair of tie rods, each tie rod respectively connected between a link of each respective chain and a downwardly extending carriage bar attached to said clamping means.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said motor means is resiliently coupled to said frame by a hinge and spring means, said spring means resiliently urging said output shaft of said motor means against said belt drive means to maintain sufficient tension on said belt drive means to provide for the transmission of torque from said output shaft to said single spindle, while simultaneously permitting said output shaft to slip within said belt drive means on initial start up of said motor means.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the weight of said spindle and of said turntable plates is supported by at least one bearing attached to said frame.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each of said first and second head means includes a selectively replacable cutting head including a stylus and further including adjusting means for selectively adjusting the cutting depth of said stylus.
- 9. The apparatus of claim 8 further including gauge means for monitoring the cutting depth of said stylus.
- 10. Apparatus for resurfacing a pair of plugs disposed on opposite sides of a saw guide, comprising:
- (a) a frame;
- (b) saw guide positioning means for holding the saw guide in a predetermined orientation relative to said frame; and
- (c) upper and lower turntable plates horizontally disposed with respect to said frame and coaxially mounted on a single spingle;
- (d) drive means on said frame for rotating said spindle;
- (e) selectively removable spacer means separating said upper and lower turntable plates; and
- (f) a cutting head situated along an outer rim of each of said turntable plates and carrying a cutting stylus, at least one of said cutting heads having adjustment means for regulating the cutting depth of the stylus mounted on said cutting head whereby said removable spacer means comprises adjustment means and said cutting head adjustment means comprises fine adjustment means for the distance between said turntable plates.
