All  lathes  look alike,  but a CTC roller grooving machine has to be much more  than  an  ordinary lathe. The chasing  operation  requires  a  very sturdy machine  since, at any given time several teeth of a chasing tool are  cutting  into  the  roller   resulting  in  heavy  load  on  the  various components - tool  holder, saddle,  cross slide  etc. A lathe not suitably designed  for  such  heavy loads will lead to vibration and chatter marks on the roller - an ideal recipe for poor cuts!

The  Clipper  is  the  only  sharpening  lathe  that  comes  to  you  with tolerance  as per IS - 1878, Part - 1, (ISO 1708)  something  that  only the best of lathes in the world can boast of.

Fitted  with  optional Digital Read Out(DRO) introduced for the first time in  the  tea  industry  by  T & I,  the lathe  is  guaranteed  to  give you accuracy to 5 microns.

CHECKMATE - A  handy  gadget  specially  developed  by  T&I  enable  you  to  measure   accurately the difference of depth  between  milling and chasing grooves. An important factor for good CTC cuts. The kit includes an adjustable microscopic scale to measure  the shoulder and slope length for maintaining correct shoulder to slope ratio. A must for every roller sharpening workshop and factory.

MOBILE CRANE - A specially  designed crane for  loading, unloading and carrying CTC rollers. Mounted on poly wheels with efficient steering mechanism for ready maneuverability. Built-in wire rope winch.

ROLLER CHECKING JIG - For  checking  the meshing of CTC rollers. Mobile mounted on castor wheels. Jig is suitable for rollers upto 48" width.

TOOL & CUTTER GRINDER - A special  purpose  machine for regrinding of CTC Chasers and Milling Cutters. Complete with 0.5 HP / 3000 RPM Motor and Starter. Mounted on fabricated steel pedestal.

Following   the   stupendous   success  of  its  fore-runner  CLIPPER,  an advanced   version   CLIPPER-II  was  introduced  with  several new and exciting features making it the most versatile among the all conventional milling machines.

BED - Heavy  graded  C. I. bed, stress  relieved,  hand-scraped and  ribbed,  with ISO trapezoidal profile.

HEADSTOCK - Heavy walled, fitted with phosphor bronze worm - wheel and hardened and ground shafts, firmly seated on bed.

LEAD - SCREW - Alloy steel, precision machined, self-cleaning.

FORWARD DRIVE - 2 Speeds, belt driven through a heavy-duty helical gearbox driving the lead - screw.
Cumbersome  clutch-type  feed  box  replaced  by  an  improved  compact  drive  system, also resulting in reduction in length by 850 mm.

Reduction in number of moving parts, hence lower maintenance.

Wider PB worn-wheel driven by multi-start worm for better arc of contact, hence longer life.

Larger dia, self-cleaning lead-screw.

Machine  suitable  for  milling  of  all  CTC machines up to 13 inch (330 mm) dia without changing any gear simply shift the gear by means of a lever.

All controls are mounted on an overhead, adjustable panel for ease of operation.
