Thread: 3MT quill |

Hi Keith,
Yes it is 3MT, I have searched on the web for a manual, found one but they want over £100 for it, seems a lot to me.
Thanks,

Thanks,
I have made a couple of drawbars with different threads and use a dead blow/copper hammer to nock them free, the problem I have is , take for instance , a 3MT fly cutter ! it will not fit in the quill because the MT taper does not locate before the tool head hits the end of the quill, the reason being the flats between the taper and the tool head are not there on a lot of the tooling I have. also there are no slots in my quill to allow a taper drift.
Thanks

Hi, Thanks,
I did not discribe it well, ! the quill takes 3MT tooling and has a drawbar , the 3MT tooling must have flats at the end of the taper that fits in the quill to stop it from turning as well as the drawbar, my mill is a FRITZ WERNER 3.230, it is a big heavy machine and works well, I do not have a manual or anything for it.
Thanks |

Hi all,
I have a old milling machine with a 3MT quill, the problem is I cannot use a lot of my tooling in it as the 3MT tools must have a flat section that fits into the quill, is there a conversion that will allow me to use an ordinary 3MT and also pass the drawbar through.
Thanks. |
