Heavy 10 question

[mwhite]

Hello all,
My first post on this forum. I bought a 1963 heavy 10 toolroom lathe. It's in real good shape for it's age. The only thing that I have found wrong with it is the carriage locking nut is missing. I know that it's not used for anything but facing operations. I can't find one anywhere, I've searched. I'm hoping someone here is willing to post a picture of it and maybe some dimensions. Thanks.

check out ebay. I use mine for facing, parting, tapering with the compound. Probably a few more that I can't think of now.
but it is used for more than facing. Generally when facing I don't lock, only on critical parts, will I lock it. For parting most always, as I want as rigid a setup as I can get. Anything that can move the carriage inadvertently.

Thanks for your reply. I've searched eBay, practical machinist and everyplace else I can think of. I was just hoping someone could get me the dimensions of it a I will make one.

Nut or bolt ? I believe mine is a square head bolt, for carriage lock.

Bottom of the page they sell one for 39$. I purchased one from him. You can order one from him or I’ll measure mine tomorrow night if you’d like.

Here's a thread on what you're looking for with dimensions. Nothing besides the angle is critical on it

Nut, the bolt is in the carriage. Thanks
