I purposely took out the pin in my PM-25MV. It was a set screw. The machine functions the same without the pin as it did with the pin.
The second picture is my mill.Is it just me,
or does the collet stick-out look very different between with draw-bar (from post 38):

and no draw-bar (from post 50):

Was that the same R8 collet?
Of course, one also has a tool in it and the other does not.
Is that the proper collet for the tool? (say both 3/8")
I'm suspicious of it being a Morse taper spindle.
Do you have any MT-2 or MT-3 arbors to try?

OP's spindle has a set screw in the side of the spindle. If it was an MT taper, it wouldn't have that set screw, would it?I'm suspicious of it being a Morse taper spindle.

I think you might be onto something.
The spindle noses do look different.
Maybe it is an MT3.
