Last week I traded a piece of farm equipment for this Benchmaster horizontal mill. I am finding out that is hard to find information of these little guys..... It is fitted with an MT2 taper and the 5/8 cutter shown is what was in it when received. Where would the model and serial number be located? I've turned it everyway but loose and haven't found it yet....
Two of the three arbors that came with it are MT3 and obviously not meant for use with this machine....(of course I could be mistaken).
The third arbor IS an MT2, but the 1/2" 13 tpi left hand threaded end has to extend THRU the overarm bearing for the nut to be installed. I'm thinking that shouldn't be correct because the tightened nut would just bind the arbor TO the overarm bearing and not tighten the spacers (of which I do not have) against the cutter. What am I looking at wrong ??
This also came in the mix and I can't find a place it matches up with on the little machine....
An almost comical addition to the box of stuff was this 4" face mill... I'm thinking that too will work better on a much larger machine. Sorry for the fuzzy foto.
....and ditto for this cutter also....
....and this 1 5/8" cutter......
If there is anyone that could kinda steer me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. There will be a few more questions soon I'm sure. Thanks for looking.... oh, and by the way, the drill bit in the photos is a 1/4" standard bit for size comparison. ....and I'll work on the fuzziness in the future too.
