I’ve got an old Index verticals mill that I need to get up and running. I think I’ve got the three phase conversion figured out bu all I have for tooling it one drill chuck. I was told that it was older brown and sharp taper. Should I look for brown and sharp tooling, buy adapters or find a company that can convert my spindle to the more common R8 taper?
I had an old Wells Index milling machine, just run a phase convertor, cheap@ $3-400 bucks, simple hook up, zero issues....arbors/collets can be had on Ebay cheaper than going R8....
