Hey Guys,
Ok, a little more advanced question.... kind of question someone like Lane, or some of the other experts on here should be able to answer...
Every one of these old US machines seems to have a spindle ground for different tooling, particularly collets- 5c, BS9, 3A, 5V, etc.
ER tooling is more readily available & cheaper...
Has anyone re-ground their spindle to accept ER (ER25) tooling (collets, etc), and if so, what is required? How did you tackle this, in other words? Can this reasonably be done in a home shop, or should it be sent out to a professional grinding place?
Thanks,
Nelson
