A machining system including a first body with a first channel to receive a first stream of compressed air, a second channel to receive a second stream of compressed air, an upper compartment, the first stream of compressed air configured to clear debris from an upper compartment surface and a lower compartment surface when the first stream of compressed air is engaged, the upper compartment configured to shift to a position where the upper compartment abuts the lower compartment and conceals the upper compartment surface and the lower compartment surface when the second stream of compressed air is engaged, and the lower compartment configured to shift when in contact with the upper compartment.

An index pin locking apparatus may include an index head including a bore extending through the index head, the bore being sized to receive an index pin, and a pin lock movable relative to the bore between a first position disengaged from the index pin and a second position engaged to the index pin.

A glideway crowning plate for creating a crown on a cutting edge of a cutting blade with a sharpening jig including a glideway crowning plate having a concaved curved surface of a predetermined radius placed proximate spaced glides of a sharpening jig. The sharpening jig utilizes a flat sharpening plate or a flat sharpening stone and the sharpening jig is side-stroked on the flat sharpening plate or the flat sharpening stone and the glideway crowning plate imposes a curved path of the predetermined radius on the sharpening jig, the cutting blade, and the flat sharpening plate or the flat sharpening stone to create a crown in the cutting edge of a cutting blade.

A linear dividing indexer has an upper table which moves transversely linear relative to a base. The upper table defines a slot disposed at an angle with the transverse direction of movement and includes an indexing mechanism formed from (a) an angle bar pivotally mounted to the base and an actuator bar slidably mounted in the angle bar, the actuating bar having a cam follower which slides within the upper table slot; and (b) wherein when the angle bar is at an angle to the slot, linear movement of the actuating bar within the angle bar causes transverse linear movement of upper table relative to the base.

A rotary table according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a piston 70 having a first tapered portion 72, and a clamp 80 having a second tapered portion 82. When the first tapered portion 72 comes into close contact with the second tapered portion 82 by a movement of the piston 70, a pallet base 30 is fixed to a table base 10, and thus the pallet base 30 is rotated, thereby maintaining a preset posture.

A gantry table includes a table main body. A gantry rail extends along the table main body, and a gantry rack extends along the table main body. The gantry table includes a gantry comprising a pinion gear that engages the gantry rack. The pinion gear drives the gantry to move along the table main body on the gantry rail. A tool bracket is movable along the gantry. The gantry table further includes a first adjustment bar and a second adjustment bar. The gantry rail and the gantry rack are attached to both of the first adjustment bar and the second adjustment bar. A joiner plate joins the first adjustment bar to the second adjustment bar. The gantry table includes a vertical adjustment that is configured to adjust a vertical position of the joiner plate with respect to the table main body. The gantry table further includes a depth adjustment configured to adjust a lateral position of the joiner plate with respect to the table main body.
