Cincinnati Acme No. 3 Universal Flat Turret Lathe
3 l
A" x 44" Bar Capacity
17" Chucking Capacity
*
The Cincinnati Acme No. 3 Universal Flat Turret Lathe will accommodate chuck
ing work up to 17" in diameter and bar stock up to
" in diameter and 44" long. The
actual swing over the bed is 24".
The machine is especially adapted to chucking work through the advantages of the
side carriage with which it is provided. This carriage permitting multiple tool operations
make it possible to machine castings or forgings with the least chuckings. The carriage
may also be used to advantage when doing bar work.
The machine can be equipped with either bar or chucking equipment or both and either
are interchangeable.
Simplicity, Accuracy and Rigidity are insured by casting the head solid with the
bed, maintaining constant and perfect alignment of spindle with the vees upon which
turret carriage travels. The ways of the bed are exceptionally large and wide. Taper
gibs to take up wear are furnished throughout.
Centralized Control is one of the important features of the machine. The time
between operations has been reduced to a minimum by placing all levers of control, such as
rapid traverse lever, cross and longitudinal power feed levers, spindle speed levers, binder
handles, etc., directly in front of operator.
The Geared Head is extremely simple in construction, and a maximum pulling power
together with nine different speeds is acquired with a minimum number of gears continuously
running in an oil bath.
The different speeds ranging from 14 to 280 R. P. M. are ob
tained instantly without stopping the spindle and are controlled by the two levers con
veniently located at the front of the head.
i
Patented Gear Shifting Device makes it possible to change from any one speed
to another with one continuous movement of either one of the speed changing levers.
When the lever has reached the point where the gears are out of mesh, the driving
pulley is automatically disengaged from the driving friction and re-engaged after the gears
arc again completely in mesh. This feature enables the gears to be shifted from one speed
to another while they are only turning over from their own momentum, eliminating all
shock and pick up.
Spindle is made of High Carbon Steel, and is mounted in renewable bearings of genuine
babbit. By means of a double cone friction operated by a lever at the front of the head
the spindle can be instantly started, stopped and reversed.

Power. A 14" single pulley running at a constant speed of 650 R. P. M. and driven
by a 4" belt delivers an abundance of power for all turning, boring an forming operations.
Especially valuable when multiple
cutting tools are in use on either cast
iron or steel.

\
The Side Carriage spans the ways
of
bed, eliminating all over-hang to the
turret and tools, and is so constructed
that it clears the chuck and can be
moved out of the way to permit the
use of short tools when using the flat
turret. It is provided with six inde
pendent stops for the longitudinal
movement which are easily accessible
to the operator. The Square Turret
is mounted on the cross slide and is
positioned by hardened lock bolt locat
ed directly under the cutting tool.
can be indexed to four positions and a
It
vertical movement of the lever at the
top of the turret unclamps same and withdraws the lock bolt.
Cross Sliding Turret revolves on a hardened and ground stem of large diameter and
is automatically locked into position by a hardened and ground tool steel taper plunger
placed directly underneath the cutting
tool. This plunger works in hardened
ground taper bushings let into the solid
turret and as near the outer edge as
practicable. The turret is further held
down at the extreme outer edge with
circular clamps. Oiling arrangement is
provided so that oil can be fed to each
individual tool. The Cross Slide
moves on a long narrow dove tail
guide with wide flat bearing surfaces
on either side and has an adjustable
taper gib to compensate for wear. Also
provided with an adjustable hardened
center stop. The cross feed can be
operated in both directions by hand
or power.
Saddle has a continuous bearing on two exceptionally heavy vees on the bed.
Power Rapid Traverse is provided in either direction (longitudinally) for the turret,

and is operated by a lever conveniently located at the front of saddle. This feature creates
a great saving in time and energy.
Stops. Twelve longitudinal stops are provided. One independent stop for e>ch
turret face, and six auxiliary stops which are operated by the index knob at the righ
saddle. When necessary, as many as seven different shoulder lengths can be machined L
first using the independent stop and then the six auxiliary stops; the latter are operatev.
by turning the index knob from zero to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. To pass any of the twelve
longitudinal stops, it is only necessary to turn the index knob half way between any of the
numbers.
Power Feed is provided for the cross and longitudinal movement to both the side car
riage and turret. Gear box at head end of machine furnishes ten feeds from 10 to 240.
Stops are provided for the longitudinal movement, and for the cross movement large mi
crometer dial with observation stops. All feeds can be reversed by operating levers, con
veniently placed in aprons of side carriage and turret.
The Bed is both deep and wide to give great rigidity under heavy cuts, and is
strongly braced by cross girths. The vees are exceptionally large to allow for the load of
the apron and side carriage.

The Pan is made deep and an oil reservoir is attached to the pan. A perforated cover
senes as a strainer and allows the oil to drain back into the reservoir.
• Lubrication. A geared oil pump is furnished which provides an ample supply of oil
when machine is running in either direction. Two pipe lines are furnished, one for the
turret tools and the other for the side carriage.
Oiling. A very efficient oiling system for the machine has been provided for. Dirt
proof oilers are furnished throughout and within sight and easy access of the operator.
Countershaft. A plain tight and loose pulley countershaft is furnished. The loose
pulley is provided with a self-oiling bush with a large oil chamber allowing ample lubrica
tion. Where conditions permit, the use of the overhead countershaft can be avoided by
belting the machine direct to the line shaft.
Motor Drive. We recommend a 5 to lyi H. P. Constant Speed Motor 1200 minimum
to 1800 maximum R. P. M.
By placing motor on sliding base on floor at head end of
machine, it can be belted to the driving pulley. Special motor arrangements can be fur
nished
and loose pulley countershaft, oil guards, oil pump and piping, and chasing attachment with one leader. Code word UVERSO.

by the long lever at front of head. The distinctive features are that the work does not
have end motion while chuck is being closed thus producing accurate shoulder length. The
Master-Collet parts that hold the jaws are held fast against the closing ring, which pre
vents all dirt and chips from getting between them. This prolongs to a great extent the
accuracy of the chuck. The jaws do not collapse and extremely short work can be held
without tilting. For variations in diameters, adjustment for
ided. The jaws can be easily removed with-
out dismantling the chuck,
acy and long life all working parts of the Auto
matic Chuck are hardened and ground.

Chasing Attachment is furnished regularly with the
machine, located at the right end of the carriage apron. One
leader (is included) having five threads (right hand) which
will cut iy2, 3>£, 5, 7, 10, 30, and 42 right hand threads as
per chart. Additional leaders for other desired threads fur

Taper Turning Attachment can be furnished for side
carriage when desired (at extra, cost) turning tapers up to
3" per foot and 12" in length.

Simplex Roller Feed is extremely simple
in design and operation as only one adjust
ment is necessary. By adjusting the jaws to
the size of stock with a spanner wrench, then
slightly releasing them the rollers will have the
proper tension. The Roller Feed is operated
by the same lever that actuates the Automatic
chuck. In operation it is simple and positive.

The rollers always maintain a full bearing on the work. This not only results in better
finish but also a more accurate guide for the cutting tool; insuring straight and accurate
cuts. The body is of cast steel and the roller shafts are supported their entire length,
eliminating all overhang and obviating any chance of the rollers tilting. The cutter is of
high speed steel, and both cutter and back rests can be quickly withdrawn to pass over a
large diameter without changing the set up of the tool.
