Patent ID: 7090446

Claim:
An optical lens drill press comprising: a) a drill press comprising: i) a base member; ii) an adjustable stanchion extending perpendicularly upward from said base; iii) a drill for retaining a bit in the bottom portion thereof perpendicularly oriented towards said base member; iv) means for retaining said drill extended from an upper portion of said stanchion and in parallel relation therewith; and v) means for selectively lowering said drill to act upon a workpiece; b) a lower shift assembly slidably engaged with said base member in a manner to permit it to be selectively and precisely positioned along the y-axis of said base member and temporarily locked into that position; c) an upper shift assembly slidably engaged with said lower shift assembly in a manner to permit it to be selectively and precisely positioned along the x-axis of said base and temporarily locked into that position, said upper shift assembly including two vertical opposing sidewalls; d) a rocker assembly rotatably disposed between and secured to said sidewalls of said upper shift assembly having means for selectively and precisely being rotated along the y-axis and temporarily locked into that position; and e) at least one lateral oscillation assembly comprising: i) a planar lateral oscillation table; ii) means for retaining a workpiece above said lateral oscillation table; and iii) means for selectively and precisely rotating said lateral oscillation table along the x-axis and temporarily securing it into that position.
