popular and a few unusual WHEEL MOUNTS to give you
some general idea of the style and variety
available. |

Because of the long life and high precision of its
PRO-SCORE® Carbide Glass Cutting Wheels, MacInnes Tool
Corporation exercises great care in the design and
manufacture of its Wheel Mounts. These mounts have been
proven over many years to be versatile in function over a
wide range of cutting applications and to be extremely
reliable and durable in use. All wheel slots are plunge
ground square to the axle and on the absolute center line of
the stem. Our ground slot gives you more wheel life and
better cuts, especially on pattern or circle cutting. All
UNITS and PILLAR POSTS are available with oil holes through
them. MacInnes MACTO™ WHEEL MOUNTS perform with
consistency
because:
All UNITS, PILLAR POSTS and Inserts are manufactured from
hardened tool steel The designs are uncomplicated yet
versatile, reliable and durable All dimensions are held
within extremely close tolerances All wheel slots are plunge
ground square to the axle and on the absolute center line of
the stem. We offer over 100 different styles of UNITS and PILLAR
POSTS. We also specialize in making custom mounts to meet
your particular requirements.
MACTO™ UNITS and PILLAR POSTS have center caster offsets
available from zero to .250 inch. Caster allows the wheel to
align itself with the direction of the cut. MACTO™ UNITS
also have swivel for either straight cutting or patterns
with swivel restrictions available down to 3 degrees.
MACTO™ UNITS and PILLAR POSTS usually come with precision
Quick Change Inserts featuring carbide axles. The Inserts
are all interchangeable in the posts. Customers have
reported increased wheel life of up to 30%, and wheels may
be resharpened more times and used to a smaller diameter
with these Inserts. The precision Quick Change Inserts can
be adapted to any type of wheel holder.
When very high precision cutting and close tolerance
repeatability is a requirement, we recommend a WHEEL MOUNT
without an insert to ensure that the cutting edge of the
wheel will be within .001 inch of the center line of the
stem.

This is a cutaway view of a
popular MACTO™ UNIT U850-430 SP. It is available
with 1 bearing and spring action as shown, or with 2
bearings and no spring for more support. The thrust
ball in the barrel takes all of the cutting thrust
force which gives longer life to the radial bearing.
This UNIT is available with restricted swivel, and
either a 5/8- or 3/4-inch barrel. |
| Shown here is a PILLAR POST in common use that
has a .250-inch diameter ground stem 3/8-inch long

ring to hold the post in place. |
