A heavy coal cutter for use in headings and rooms in pillar methods of working. The machine weighs about 12 hundredweight (545 kg) and is usually mounted on a light carriage to suit the mine track. A percussive drill, with extension rods, makes a horizontal cut about 5-1/2 ft (1.68 m) deep and 15 ft (4.57 m) wide at any height in the heading. The central column is tightened between roof and floor about 4-1/2 ft (1.37 m) from the face. The machine can also be used for drilling shotfiring holes.
