ABSTRACT:
A golf club wood head facing machine is disclosed which comprises a base with a planar top upon which is mounted a face cutting assembly with a movable motor driven cutter which can be pivoted simultaneously both horizontally and vertically to shape the head's face to give it a defined bulge and roll. In addition thereto there is mounted on the assembly a club head holding mechanism consisting of a downwardly directed clamp above a railbed having two parallel rails mounted thereon to permit the seating and clamping of the golf head to be faced. The holder provides loft, face angle, face progression and lie adjustment means, as well as feed means to urge the club face forward against the cutter. Provision is also made to raise or lower the holder so as to locate the club face against the cutter. A method for finishing club head faces is also disclosed which uses the apparatus of the invention and consists of the steps of clamping the golf wood head face to cutter, setting a defined lie on the railbed, clamping the wood to the holder, setting a defined loft by means of the loft setting assembly, setting a defined face angle by means of the face angle subassembly, setting a defined bulge radius; setting a defined roll radius, turning on the machine, adjusting the height of the center of the wood face with the cutter, urging the wood face against the cutter, and shaping the face horizontally and vertically simultaneously.
