Hi everyone.
Someone asked in the wanted ads for specs on the bronze nuts for a Cincinnati Tray Top lathe.
I just bought a 1955 Cincinnati Tray Top 12 1/2 x 36. It was abused and needs a lot of work. I had mine apart to spec out a replacement cross shaft, its nut and the compound's nut. My compound's shaft is still in good shape. Attached are the drawings I made based on what I had. It's entirely possible that some specs are slightly off. It's simply what I measured. I'm changing the crossfeed shaft to a 5/8-8 LH ACME, as the OEM 9/16-8 is a thing of the past. I should note that the rounded ends of the nuts are simply ground - you just need to make it look good and clear the surroundings. My crossfeed shaft drawing is for machines with a taper attachment. Non-taper attachment machines use a different shaft.
I hope this helps. And if anyone needs some nuts, I should be making some in the next month or so, depending on free time.
It looks like I can only attach 5 drawing at a time. I will try to post the remaining in an additional post. I also have this in a PDF, but it's 2.2MB, which is above the max allowed.
