f an automobile flywheel, which is another typical example of work for a machine of this type. The flywheel is finished in two settings. Its position for the first series of operations is shown in Fig. 18, and the successive order of the four operations for the first setting is shown by the diagrams, Fig. 20. The first operation requires four tools which act simultaneously. The three held in tool-block _A_ of the turret, face the hub, the web and the rim of the flywheel, while tool _a_ in the side-head rough turns the outside diameter. The outside diameter is also finished by broad-nosed tool _b_ which is given a coarse feed. In the second operation, the under face of the rim is finished by tool _c_, the outer corners are rounded by tool _d_ and the inner surface of the rim is rough turned by a bent tool _B_, which is moved into position by indexing the main turret. In the third operation, the side-head is moved out of the way and the inside of the rim is finished by another bent tool _B_{1}_. The final operation at this setting is the boring of the central hole, which is done with a bar _C_ having interchangeable cutters which make it possible to finish the hole at one setting of the turret. The remaining operations are performed on the opposite side of the work which is held in "soft" jaws _J_ accurately bored to fit the finished outside diameter as indicated in Fig. 19. The tool in the main turret turns the inside of the rim, and the side-head is equipped with two tools for facing the web and hub simultaneously. As the tool in the main turret operates on the left side of the rim, it is set with the cutting edge toward the rear. In order to move the turret to this position, which is beyond the center of the table, the center stop previously referred to is swung out of the way. =Floating Reamer Holders.=--If a reamer is held rigidly in the turret of a boring mill or turret lathe, it is liable to produce a hole which tapers slightly or is too large. When a hole is bored with a single-point boring tool, it is concentric with the axis of rotation, and if a reamer that is aligned exactly with the bored hole is fed into the work, the finished hole should be cylindrical and the correct size. It is very difficult, however, to locate a reamer exactly in line with a bored hole, because of slight variations in the indexing of the turret, or errors resulting from wear of the guiding ways or other important parts of the machine
