SHELDON IMPROVED GRINDERS
Nos. T 17 and ST 17
rV'i
SHELDON GENERAL PURPOSE GRINDER
No. T 18
The Sheldon Grinder is simple in design, compact and
perfectly balanced. It is built for hard service. There
are no connecting rods or reciprocating parts to burn
up or become loose. Power is applied direct to the
rotor shaft which also serves as the wheel mounting.
The body is made from one piece of tubing, which
not only insures perfect alignment of rotating parts,
but is so constructed
that it covers one side of the
grinding wheel, affording ample protection for the op
erator.
The motor is of the pneumatic turbine type mounted
on standard radial ball bearings, and is lubricated by
the Alemite system. It has ample power to pull 6-inch
and 9-inch face coarse grain grinding wheels.
Each grinder is furnished complete with one grind
ing wheel, Alemite grease gun, and wheel dresser.

This is a simple, rugged, general purpose tool. It is
compact and perfectly balanced.
The motor is of the pneumatic turbine type, mounted
on standard radial ball bearings, lubricated by the
Alemite system, and is of the same general design as
the motors used in our No. 17 grinders. It has ample
power to pull a 6-inch diameter 1-inch face grinding
wheel. With SO pounds of air the motor speed is ap
proximately 5000 r.p.m., which gives the theoretically
correct peripheral speed for this size wheel.
Size of grinding wheel is 6 inches in diameter, 1-inch
face, and %-inch hole. Length over all, 20 inches.

Swing 12"—Bed Lengths
48", 56", 60" and 72"
The improved Sheldon Speed Lathe embodies the latest features and
most approved principles in both its mechanical and electrical con
struction. Particular attention has been paid to safety features.
Bed
The bed is a semi-steel casting, cored and heavily ribbed, insuring
exceptional strength with light weight. It is planed flat on top with
a machined opening in the center, running the entire length, insuring
proper alignment of head, tailstock and tool rest support.
Tailstock
Tailstock is cxceptipnally rigid with full
in any desired position along the bed by means of a single lever
eccentric _ clamp. Setovcr tailstock is furnished on lathes with hand
feed carriages.
Tool Rest Support
Tool rest support has full bearing on base plate and is clamped in
any position by a single lever eccentric clamp which is located under
the bed. Tool rest is rigidly clamped by means of an improved double
wedge type binder.
Hand Feed Tool Carriage
When lathes are furnished with hand feed tool carriages, (Fig. 2)
V ways are provided for same on front of bed. These carriages have
cross feed and compound swivel rests. The compound rest is
quickly interchangeable with a special tool rest holder.
On all lathes
equipped with Hand
Feed Tool Carriages
we furnish Set-Over
Tailstocks (Fig. 3).
The set-over tailstock
is of the same general
design as _ our plain
tailstock being equipped
with the same style
single lever eccentric
clamp. In addition it

Alternating Current 220-Volts, 60 Cycles, 3 Phase
A special, four-speed, ball bearing motor mounted on the too of
the lathe. Speeds 575, 1160, 1750 and 3450 R. P. M.
The stator windings consist of two distinct sets of coils, from each
set of which two speeds arc obtainable.
The solid end brackets make the motor totally enclosed, excluding
all dust and foreign substances. The bearing housings will
leak grease, inside or outside the motor.
The ball bearings take end thrust in either direction. The end
brackets are bolted to the frame, permitting removal of rotor from
either end.

Figure 3
Controller
Motor speeds of approximately 575, 1,160, 1,750 and 3,450
revolutions per minute at full load are given by the four
running points of the controller.
The controller is mounted inside the headstock leg, a
sheet metal cover thoroughly protects it.
It is of the drum type, having brass castings on a micarta
insulated shaft. Copper contact fingers, supported by a
micarta plate, make firm contact with the drum segments.
Regenerative
braking
for slow-down is obtained by throw
ing the controller on the next lower speed. The controller
should be moved to the lowest speed point and held there to
obtain braking action before being finally turned to the
“
off
” position.
The controller lever is mounted on the front of the leg is
provided with positive stops for each controller position and
has incorporated in it the line switch arranged so that the
switch cannot be operated except when controller is in
“
off
” position. This is a particularly valuable feature as it
protects the motor against a heavy current surge in case the
switch is accidentally turned on when the controller is in
one of the tap running positions.
