Spoke-plan′ing ma-chine′.

One for dressing a spoke lengthwise of the stuff, the spoke or the cutter being so moved, the one relatively to the other, that the required shape is produced.

In the example, the piece is clamped between the dog in the bent lever and the opposite center; the clamp lever is held in position by a support placed under it and upon the bench. The carriage is reciprocated on the ways, beneath the roughing and the finishing cutter, a guide-bar determining the presentation to the cutter, so as to confer the proper shape.
