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?
