It came with a single collet. 1/2". It reads "sutton 2E 1/2" I'm pretty the style is 2E which don't seem to exist anymore... Any help is appreciated. The o.d. of the straight part measures .625"

Looks identical to an R8 but smaller

Hello @not sure

Welcome to the group!

I'm not finding anything as "eklind". Is there an "h" in there somewhere?
Can you post some pictures?
(I'm not sure if you need some minimum number of posts in order to upload pictures.)

Wow! Very cool looking machine.
Stout and with both vertical and horizontal spindles.
Neat half-round motor pivot..... is it original?

Do both spindles have the same taper?

I will keep looking.....

Brief history of the company here, they’re still in business by the looks of it although just making small tools now. Looks like one of those companies that got going shortly after the first war, then changed substantially after the second one. Still in business after almost a century though, wonder if they can help on the mill info?
