Thanks pjb! Been looking to view your mill. Any links to pics? Was also wondering what serial / year yours is - as I'm sure you can imagine suddenly, certain parts no longer fit across the board on all versions.

FS: Van Norman 22LU with tooling/accessories
Hi, I'm thinking of selling my VN22LU that's been a project for a few years. It is a NMTB50 spindle universal (swivel table) machine. The machine was re-scraped and saddle turcited to address wear issues. Clutch disc replaced, numerous oil seals and several knee bearings replaced. Machine...

There are many among us that really want to find a 'lead box'! The lot I bought early last year had a lead box in it. The only part I wanted really. As for the gears: they are the same as for the B&S no2 Divider Except a slightly larger center hole is needed 1" vs 1.2" & the 44 tooth gear in the B&S set isn't needed at all.
Now for the slotter. As far as I know, they are all the same except some accept a larger 5/8" tool vs 1/2". Of course the right adapter for the mill it is to be used with plays a large part in whether it will work with a given mill. Still working out the details on that. Mine has the 5/8" tool hole, was made for a 22 with the 3 bolt mount - but came with a shop made adapter that allows it to fit my 4 bolt style 24. That same adapter also allows me to use my hi-speed universal sub-head (also from a 22). Now, among the items waiting on restoration, I have that same hi-speed except it has the correct 4 bolt mount for my mill. In time, I'll be testing my theories on swap-ability. I need to see if the mount, as seen in the pic below, will do for the slotter as well.

Hi,
So I saw a VN22 compatible sub-head today, and I was expecting it to have a 1" splined driver, but it was larger. I couldn't measure it in situ though. Is the standard for these sub-heads 1.25" splined?
Unfortunately there was no driver for it there, though there was also an extra NMTB50-to-1" splined driver like (of which I already have 3).
