Today I acquired...........

[Tinbasherdan]

Mine is a MKll. I'd like to fit a VFD for speed control. Changing the belt on the pulleys is a bit of a faff.

Funnily enough I’m looking at a 3ph motor and vfd as the motor fitted seems to be very weak

I think Tinbashers is Mill actually.

You are probably right. Seems like they made a few "options" regarding the spindle. I thought Tinbasher knew something we didn't or had a secret stash of collets.

We had given it a good go to source them in the forum over the years but you never know the ability and inginuity of people on here. Some things on YouTube made by people never cease to amaze me.

I am sure the original taper version only ever had 4 collets anyway, which was why my plan was always to make a taper with a 5c collet and another to fit a chuck

Some contraband from a friend south of the border

Also inside was

Not ordinary ratchet spanners. these are ‘ramp and roller’ so they are 0 degree. Perfect for where there’s no access

Even Timken are manufacturing in China,hopefully the name means they’re made to a decent specification.

I have to ask why?

 

[Kayos]

I have to ask why?

Because I have 70 things that need locking, with a common code

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]
