Description: |
| Claim:
A template controlled slide structure for duplicating longitudinal work pieces on a lathe, the lathe having template mounting means for supporting a template parallel with the longitudinal axis of the work piece and having a carriage translatable longitudinally relative to the work piece, the carriage having cross slide slideways positioned transversely thereof, said template controlled slide structure comprising a cross slide block slidable along said slideways for movement substantially at right angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece, means for sliding said cross slide block, tool slide slideways carried by said cross slide block and positioned at an oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the work piece and to said cross slide slideways, a tool slide slidable along said tool slide slideways at said angle, power means for shifting said tool slide, a cutting tool carried by said tool slide, said tool slide having a rearwardly extended arm, a tracer block slideway on said arm disposed substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the work piece and parallel to said cross slide slideways, a tracer slide block mounted upon said tracer block slideway, said tracer slide block movable substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the work piece and parallel to said cross slide movement, a tracer unit mounted upon said tracer slide block and connected to said power means to control the same, a stylus associated with the said tracer unit, said stylus adapted to brace a template which is supported by said template mounting means of the lathe parallel to the longitudinal axis of the work piece, and means for sliding said tracer slide block and tracer unit to vary the spacing between the stylus and said cutting tool. |
