Description
The model F103/4/5A machine is a precision, single point boring, and high-speed surfacing unit. The
machine can be equipped with tooling and accessories for surfacing and re-boring most American
passenger car and truck engines, In-lines, as well as 90 and 60 degree V-types.
F103/4/5A machines can be easily tooled, to machine a wide range of engines, including European and
Asian engines, also, the machine can be easily adapted to perform other boring and surfacing operations.
The machine is designed, to maintain alignment of cylinder bores, and cylinder head, deck surfaces to the
pan rails and main bearing bore locations, as was done in the original factory machining. This overcomes
the many inaccuracies and out-of-alignment problems associated with clamping portable boring bars to
the cylinder head surface of blocks.
Convenient controls, fast block clamping, precise 3 axis CNC positioning and clamping, means
considerable savings in oor to oor time, and operator involvement.
Change over or resetting time required to set up V-type or in-line engines is a minimum, making this
machine highly suited to the jobber shop where engines cannot be run through in model lots.
All feeds and rapid travels are power operated and controlled form the control panel.
