Hello,
I have a 15x42 Tray-Top Cincinnati lathe. It has a taper attachment complete with everything except for one part. The missing part is the clamping block that secures the attachment to the bed ways when the taper attachment is being used. I have included a diagram from the manual; the missing component is labeled "H".
Since I cannot seem to find this part, I would like to make a replacement. While I could probably come up with something that would work, I was wondering if anyone could provide some photos or insight of the original part.
Thanks

There's this photo from a TrayTop sales brochure.

But as johnoder posted, the drawing on p. 68 of the factory manual shows an exploded view of that clamp. Looks relatively simple to make a new one. It seems to be missing from a lot of the taper attachments...
 
Have same unit -did you find the part? Bob

Hi Bob,
I did not find the part, but I was able to successfully make my own... it was a fun project and worked well! Here is a link to a Drive folder with the .step file of my design, Fusion 360 file, and some drawings that are probably mostly complete. Good luck!
