ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an apparatus for machining curved facets onto several polygons together. The apparatus of this invention comprises a fixture which has a mill bed and a ram. The mill bed holds an movable plate and the movable plate holds a rotating plate. The rotating plate which will be fixed during the operation of the apparatus will hold a stack of blank polygons. The ram holds two motors which are connected to a cutter. The motors cause the cutter to rotate and gradually move down the cutter. The rotation axis of the cutter is parallel to the rotation axis of the polygons. Once the motors are turned on the cutter will sequentially cut one curved facet onto each polygon. After one facet is cut onto each polygon, the motors will be stopped and the rotating plate will be rotated to position the polygons to receive the carve for the next curved facet.
