  • Patent number: 5389861
    Abstract: A retrofit power accessory for a turret mill provides a motor drive for changing machine tool speed, replacing a handwheel. A frame is attached to the mill by a pair of adjustable brackets which accommodate various models of mills. The frame carries a spider coupling which attaches to the rotatable machine shaft formerly holding the hand wheel. The spider coupling is driven by a gear motor on the frame through a timing belt and timing gears to positively drive the machine shaft. A manual switch controls the motor in either direction to effect the desired machine tool speed change. A rotary knob is also coupled to the spider coupling to allow manual intervention.
