Another Cincy Toolmaster

Chipper,
I regularly watch for Cincy Toolmaster parts (especially power feeds!).
A knee crank came up on Ebay several months ago. But its the only one I recall.
I could draw a print of mine. But unless you've got a mill and a dividing head it wont be of much value.
On the other hand I suppose a hack saw and some needle files would work.
In seriousness if I need a Cincy knee crank, I'd look at one of the "Crank Yankers".

Consider contacting the seller first and confirm the Yanker will fit your 1D.
If you don't like the drill idea (I don't) then consider welding it to a shop made aluminum handle.

Hi Daryl, thank you for the info on the knee crank. The crank yanker at $34 is likely the way to go (however I've never let the straight forward approach get in my way). I do have a small Maho milling machine with dividing head (the Maho is great, but the movements are small - hence the Cincy). I've got a crank handle from a broken Victoria mill (that's a story for another day), with enough meat on it to cut in the face spline.

Making up a sketch? Is it just a mirror image of what is on the mill (with a little clearance)? If it is, then I should be okay.
 
I don't know Maho. Is that a fish?
Regardless, sounds like you have a plan!
Please keep us posted.

Thanks David! Wow, my "manual feed" 1D is a lot different!

Not the greatest picture, but hopefully you can make out the t-nut channel which I assume is designed to hold the Y axis adjustable stops. However, I couldn't find a hole that would accept a pin (like on the X-axis) to engage the stops. Your machine has such a pin, but I saw no provision for it on mine. The aluminum block (upper right of the picture) looks to have been added by a previous owner for some unknown function. I think it's too far from the t-nut channel to mount something to engage the X-axis stops...

Would someone who has a manual feed 1D post a shot of this area on their machine? I'd really like to know what is supposed to be there!

Thanks again David!

Hi Daryl, I tried to reply to your "fish" comment. Did it get through? Regards, David
 
This is going to be hard to explain but what I dug up for the tee slot is a flat sided button head square shank bolt the stop goes into. Put in the tee rotated 180 and the square shank
keeps it vertical. And I can not find this in the book. I have seen this on machines. Elementary machining to make your own. Nother words think of a flat sided carriage bolt.
just my guess
 
Hmmm.
Perhaps I need more coffee.
Can you make an post a print or pic?

Chipper,
I should have replied. I think I replied in my head. But the only ones that heard that are the other people living there.
I didn't intend to slight your Maho.
I followed the links you sent and did some other snooping.
That is a neat machined with the potential of incredible precision.
If I found one locally at a price I'd have to go look at her.

My wife and I have vague plans to visit a HM member located on the eastern end of Canada.
I'd like to see your machine make chips. If we get up your way (Red Deer) would you consider a shop tour?
