  • Patent number: 5913646
    Abstract: Table extensions for use with a numerically controlled (CNC) milling machine are disclosed. A gauge table extension has a platform, and means for feeding a workpiece along the platform into the milling machine. A number of support means hold up the platform and feeding means. Lower guide rails attached to each of the support means and upper guide rails attached to the platform transverse to the lower guide rails connect to the lower guide rails through a number of dual-axis bearings that allow the platform to be translated with respect to the support means. A catch tray catches filings and coolant that result from the machining process and recycles the coolant to the CNC milling machine.
