A combination mining machine designed and built to work in entries and other narrow places, and to load coal as it is broken down. An undercutting frame and two vertical shearing frames serve to undercut and shear the sides of the coal, so that the ram equipped with bars and operated by hydraulic jacks can break down the coal. The height at which the ram operates against the coal, when the undercut and shearing are completed, is adjustable. A conveyor in the undercutting frame carries the broken-down coal back to another conveyor mounted on a turntable so that the coal can be loaded into a mine car, or slate can be deposited on the gob side of the entry. The entire machine is mounted in a pan.
