VN Finally Got A Slotter Attachment

Finally picked up a slotter attachment that I have been looking for. Probably paid a bit much, but it's practically new. Stripped it and cleaned out the old gunk. Back together already, quickest rebuild yet. Missing one oil cap and the arbor, but I have a print for the arbor. All I did was clean it.

Jason, can you post a picture of the socket of the spotter head? Trying to visualize how the arbor engages the slotter to drive it.

Jason, I just picked up a universal slotter. It does not have the drive arbor. You mention that you have the print for the arbor. Can you share it?
Thanks,
Greg
 
I do not have a print, however, I can draw one up. It might take me a little bit to get it done.
That would be much appreciated. I have made some horizontal arbors, shell mill arbors and boring head arbors, so I'm good with the spindle 5V side of the drive arbor. I'm interested in the slotter side of the drive arbor.

Also, I found one arbor drawing that didn't use the drive lugs. It relied solely on the internal keyway and taper to drive the arbor. I don't have the slotter head in my possession yet, but I would prefer to use the drive lugs in addition to the taper and internal key if the drive arbor will fit into the slotter attachment with drive lug slots included. It looks like your arbor uses the drive lugs. Is that correct?

Thanks,
Greg
 
I know there are at least 2 drive arbors, the 1" 6 spline, and the older twin drive lug style. The older one is basically a straight shaft with 2 Woodruff keys inline which are the drive lugs.
