Might any one know if this centering scope can have its tapper changed??
At the moment its a Int 40, I would like to have a 2MT on it to fit my Tom Senior Mill
Isoma,s website is has very limited info and a week of waiting for a email has seen no reply!!!!
I have a photo of the scope in my album |

124 forum posts 60 photos | I managed to take the 40 Int arbor off the scope today, Knowing it was only a thread fit gave me a little more confidence in what I was doing as it took a hell of a lot of turning force before it budged lots of time, and soft jaws etc but it finally came out.
Now to look for a reasonable priced M15 .75 die !!!!!!!!!!!! |

426 forum posts 1 photos | Hi I did the reverse, changing my morse 2 taper to a 30 int. If I can find the morse shank and it has the right thread I can send it to you. Regards Mick |

I have looked at the arbour and it's a Morse 3 unfortunately. But I did remove the brass adaptor ring which reduced the body thread of the scope to the thread on the arbour. Your welcome to PM me and I can send you images. You may be able to use my parts to assist in making a Morse 2 arbour. Regards Mick |
