I was worried about milling with a taper adaptor. I guess I would be able to use it some with that but a setup with a draw bar would be much more capable. I already have Bridgeport style mill so I'm not naked in the milling department!Look like your machine was built in 1942.
Look on eBay. There are a couple of MT3 ER40 chucks for $25 and a bunch for around $50.
I think you are right about this being a 1942 model as many features are shared with Van Norman's even older mills. The later ones had a split dovetail an the y axis way. Thanks again for your input on the subject! Now if I could get caught up in my shop enough to get back working on it!
