Have you look at vintagemachinery.org? Either their publication reprints and/or photo index.

Thanks, for the heads up on the images, I new here and still stumbling around! I was looking on this thread for various pictures. I looks like it may be a 645.If the price is right , it's a good machine
Index does that work, but you must send the spindle and quill to them, assembled, When they grind it to R8, you will not get full contact between spindle and collet. The price is not cheap, and there is freight both ways. Buy a few B&S #9 collets (3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 3/4") and then use straight shank tooling in the collets. That is a good system, without any modifications needed.considering having it converted to R-8, but don’t know how much it cost. I’ve heard that the original company will do it, but not for sure.

I was afraid of that. I have a set of B&S#9 collets. Guess I may just stick with them.Join owwm.org and post as question under their "Old Metalworking Machines" forum and maybe someone there might be able to help you.
