We present herewith an illustration of an engine lathe of 14" swing and 6’ bed, built by Dietz, Gang & Co., of Cincinnati, O. The engraving shows that the lathe follows substantially the modern standard form, but dispenses with tumbler and feed gears within the head, the gears and upper feed cone, usually carried on the stud, being placed directly on the spindle, and the feed reversed in the apron. The spindle is of steel with a main bearing 2"x3¼", and has a 3" hole through it, the taper of the center being No. 3 Morse. The spindle boxes are phosphor bronze. The carriage is furnished with plain, rise and fall, or compound rest, as desired, and has automatic cross-feed. Foot-stock is of approved form, with eccentric clamp. Though called a 14" lathe, it swings over the Vs 15½", and over the compound rest 10". With 6' bed it takes between centers 38”. Gears are furnished for cutting threads from 4 to 40 per inch, including 11½” pipe thread. Weight, 1400 pounds. |
