Thank you John for your suggestions. It will be a week before I get home to do some more testing. I will come back with the results.

I am not near the mill at the moment but as far as I can remember the test bar is about six inches long supplied by Arc Euro Trade. I measured at the top and bottom of the bar with the same result. I did remove the spindle and it appeared to be tight but as you mention it Jason I can move the test bar about 10 thou each way at the bottom of the bar.

Unfortunately I did not know that a test certificate should come with the machine. Good point about measuring the inside of the taper. Thank you all for your help so far.

I purchased a Super X3 mill last April and I am now in the process of setting it up. I checked the spindle using a test bar in the morse taper and I find that with the mill running at low speed it appears to be running 1thou out. I am only starting to get around to Model Engineering and I am wondering if this result is acceptable for this type of mill. Any help would be appreciated.
