Help with Central Machinery 3 in 1 #0711

Aug 08, 2006 4 Replies

I bought a used Central Machinery #0711 Multipurpose Machine circa 1995 and am in need of a parts diagram, possibly a parts supplier, or at least a cross reference. This unit looks a lot like a Smithy Granite and I suspect many of the parts are the same, but Smithy was so little help, they bordered on rude. All I wanted to do was give them money.



Specifically, I'm looking for the cross slide feed nut and any peripheral hardware that might go along with it (maybe backlash reduction) I don't want to attempt to make one as I would rather not spend the money and time on Acme threading tools and it would take time out of what I want to do with the machine. If worst comes to worst I'll take it to a shop.



Can anyone help?



Central Machinery is Harbor Freight's 'House" brand but they don't list that model on their site so it was probably discontinued. They currently sell 3 models and have manuals online for all 3 so maybe that will help some. They may also be able to get parts for you but I wouldn't expect them any time soon. A friend ordered a few parts for the table on his drill press from them and it was MONTHS before they finally arrived. :-(

Good luck!

It's power feed when the lead screw is engaged, otherwise, no.
