D1-4 Cam drawing

Hi all,

It seems the D1-4 studs and cams on my newly acquired (new to me, it is a used Chinese 12x36) lathe were manufactured slightly out of specification. The previous owner had used excessive force to try and tighten up the chuck and as a result the studs and cams are heavily galled, the cams do not line up and tighten as they should. I've found a set of replacement studs from RDG Tools which are on their way to me, however finding a set of replacement cams is proving far trickier...does anyone know of a local supplier?

Failing that would anyone have some technical drawings of the D1-4 cams with dimensions as I should be able to make the replacements?

Many thanks!

I know you asked for a local supplier but this maker/vendor says they ship to countries besides the U.S.: https://www.ebay.com/itm/D1-4-Spindle-Cam-Lathe-New-Made-in-USA-/201794579589 I have not dealt with them but have heard the name before.

My apologies. I forgot that I don't know how to make a "clickable link."

I've got the official ISO spec for the Camlock system. Just emailed it to you....

You can see a couple of glimpses here.

Hi Murray,

Many thanks for the drawings, much appreciated!

Hi Murray, I'm just about to start making a D1-4 adapter for my rotary table, could I trouble you for a copy of those drawings.

regards

Gray - PM me your email address.

BTW, if you can get a rotary table with the same number of slots as you have cams on your Camlock, it makes the design a lot easier. However like me, you may already have bought the RT....
