CNC Wheel Cup – O Gauge Comb For Lionel Post War. 4 different size wheel cups sets.


- This tool was designed to Align & Press the wheels on Steam engines & Electric Engines.

 

- With our Slot & Indexing Screw system in the Wheel cups, this allows multiple different style wheel fit the same cup set.

 

- The tool is CNC machined out of solid 6061 aluminum blank

 

- Cups are the same but when you flip one cup it will correctly set the 87 degrees offset. They will set the left side to lead the right.

 

- If right side lead or custom sizes are needed, they will be available through or Custom Wheel Cup Program, Contact us for more information.

 

- Can be used in a standard Arbor Press or Machine Vise as is. But Screw on post can be added so they work on the Lionel or Hobby Horse type press.

 

- Wheel Diameter is engraved in front of cups.

 

- Slide bar screws only work if they are the standard ¼” hex head. Otherwise, you will need to use our “indexing Screws”.

 

- Some engines require only 2 cups, Others require 4 (2 for the outer wheels, 2 for the center wheels. Cups marked with the smaller Diameter will be for the center wheels.

 

- Non-Quartering cups have all same feature as Quartering cups except the Quartering slot.

– This kit was designed around Lionel, McCoy & American Flyer Standard/Wide gauge engines.     But could be used for other manufactures. 



– This version of the kit includes the Screw-in Post for use on Lionel or Hobby Horse Presses. Can also be used on our Arbor/Rivet Press to.
