If that BP is the heavy duty one, then consider getting a motor drive for the knee. That table is mucho heavy to crank up. OTOH it will support 1500 lbs. ::)

Maybe I'll attach the wife to it and have her crank it up. :eek: ::) :big: :big:

Will have to consider that once I get it home.

Not a bad idea, but you don't have a hole through the whole works, right? :-\

Bernd

Yes but the ER doesn't need a drawbar if the taper is in the spindle.
We use the ex drawbar hole to fit a driven ER11 collet chuck for high speed use.

My Grizzly has a Morse taper, #2 or #3 I think. So I'm SOL on that one.

Bernd

Never SOL! ;)

It is most likely an MT3
Little Machine Shop has this to offer.
If you watch eBay you will find vendors selling import copy's for much less.

Sorry John. I thought I was looking at a lathe spindle in that above pic of the mill head sitting on the bench. Now I see it's the mill your talking about. Right, don't need a through hole. A bit embarrassed here :-[

Now that's nice Rick. Thanks. Have to think about tooling up that Bridgy when I get it. Still haven't got my money yet to get her home. :'( :'(
