John Haine could you link to an example of a closing nut and the MT2 finger collets that you mentioned please?

Thanks,

Caspar

The jobs i have for it actually don't require a high degree of accuracy. Things like making wood turning tools to accepts carbide inserts. Also I make a lot of knives so something to flatten exotic hardwoods for handle scales.

Thanks for everyone's input, it's been really useful!

Think i've finally managed it...

Sorry images didn't seem to work there. Hopefully these links will:

Hi I have inherited a fobco drill from my farther. I am a total novice machinist but some of the things I have read about this machine seem to suggest it could be used for some light milling. Is this correct? If so what do i need to buy to hold the mill cutters? Could someone link me to the exact part? I believe mine has the "Type D No. 2 Morse taper spindle with a 1.125" x 12 t.p.i. "Myford" nose thread " mentioned on **LINK** . I have attached some pictures of my machine below. Thanks for reading.
