Thread: Mill Toolholding question
02/09/2013 00:26:49

Hi this is my first post, I have just purchased a clarke CL500M lathe,mill,drill combo machine which is being deleivered this week. I am familiar although an amateur with a lathe but have never done any milling. From what I can deduct I am going to need a milling chuck and collets to be able to use the mill ? All I can find info wise at the moment is that the spindle is MT3 but I do not know the spec of the draw bar.

Can anyone recommend what I need to get me started. I have looked at collets and chucks but it seems confusing with all the different types like ER25, ER32 etc.. and then there is "30 int" and many other names and numbers, my head is spinning.

Any advice would be appreciated or links to reading material etc to help me out.
