The nice man in the big brown truck brought in a heavy box and put it on my shop table. Inside was a new to me but very old and well used universal subhead. I have a 50 taper spindle on my 22L and a spline drive that I assumed would fit and drive a subhead. Nope, the one I have has a much smaller diameter than what is needed in the subhead. Now, I've noticed that the bolt pattern to mount to the spindle doesn't fit the subhead. You know what assumptions are
So, has anyone mounted a universal subhead to a 22L or 22LU Van Norman? If so, can you post some photos? It looks like a adapter plate needs to be made, bolt the adapter plate to the mill and then the subhead to the adapter plate but what do I know???
Thanks,
Mike
