I've gotten a few questions from members about my high speed quill head for the VN #12 and #16 machines. Mine seems to be more complete and in better shape than some others, and I've been asked to provide a few photos. Rather than continue those private conversations, I thought I'd post them where everyone can view them.
Ron asked about the threaded nose. My unit has the standard VN type "C" spindle nose, but the collet is retained with a threaded cap as shown in the photos.
At the rear, there is no room for a draw-bar with the quill feed handle in place, so I guess VN's solution was the threaded cap.
The drive "pin" looks like a standard collet at the back and has a single key slot and smooth shaft to fit into the accessory head.
