Thanks Graham will take a detailed look at those, made a new buttress thread unit today! I must say not the best threading is have ever done, will do another one later now I know the pit falls, will try and get it all welded up this week to try it.

Hi Kenneth' I would say 12/13mm a 10mm will do a 3/8" or it works fine in Al204 ER collets, I thought ER 40 was a little large for a FP1 deckel! ER 32 was the size I looked at, but hay let me know how you get on with them.

Rob

Can you post a photo Phill

rob

Hi guys" can any one identify these collet please? They came with the mill, great collets & I want some more.

Rob

All done now, works well, thanks again to you all.

Hi" almost done now, the gear cutter did the job, 20pa mod1 No7 just didn't go full depth, as the gears are 14.5pa mod1 No7 but you guys found a way to solve the problem. Just putting a taper on the end for the handle, & I have the woodruff key to cut, that arrived today, & I will post a photo.

thanks to you all.

Rob

Yes guys it was MT5 got a taper today . First I must apologise to you all as the measurement I gave down the bore was wrong! I went in with a micro light & then could see a collar, my bore gauge must have ridden up it every time. Once I overcome that problem the measurement s You gave all fell into place. Perfect out come thanks to you all .

regards Robin

Thank martin, you did a lot lf work there, I will see if I can get a Mt5 to try, if that's no good will try the jarmo 14

rob

Martin, yes yes yes that's the way . Ok over the distance of 1 inch the taper is 29thou that's the best I could get, so if I say between 27thou & 30 thou that can surely give us a ball park figure? Now who can do the calculation? I think the taper is about 3inch long.

rob

Keith you could be onto something"" stub version, tel me more.

rob

Hi Murray" it's 44.25 not 54. D1-3 . it will be a chuck size D1-4 = 63.5 mm buts that's the OD of the spindle. I'm ID.

thank for your input.

Rob

1 rev is 1 rev""" but it now cuts smaller chips rather than a long slither.

rob

Sound like it's an MT5

rob

Yes point taken, but the Manuel gives 2 figgers A2.4" as well, so could ether be fitted? what is A2.4" ? And it states 1.5/8" I measured it with a bore gauge.

Rob

I have a MK practical 1550 lathe & I need to centre the tail stoke to the centre of the spindle, I have taken the chuck off & taken a measurement @ the end of the nose 44.25mm & at the back it tapers down to 43.25mm. In the manual it words Spindle nose D1-4" or A2.4". Nose MT3 bore 1-5/8" can any one tel me the correct size for a tapered centre for this size taper please. Rob

Just put the fly cutter cutting tool in a 1" fly cutter. Been cutting now for 2hours works perfect. Lesson learned .

Just rang and bought a number 7 mod 1 20PA should be here Wednesday / Thursday try it and see how I go.
