OK all of this taper talk has gotten me into the chance taking mode again.
As most of you know I bought an R8 shank ER32 collet chuck from the eBay
vendor 800Watt for a very low price and found it to be a great deal!
The story behind that purchase can be seen HERE
The spindle taper of the import 9 X 20 lathe happens to be a MT3
Already having the full collet set I just bought THIS from the same vendor
for use in the lathe.
Now all I need to do is find a qualified machinist to make a draw bar for it once it
arrives. I do know where such a guy lives, but he drinks a bit.
I'll have to catch him early in the evening!
