What Mills Use B&S #9 End Mill Holders?

Newman109 · Jul 26, 2013

I just picked up about 100 pounds of used tooling, including end mills, cutting tools, reamers and end mill holders. Among the items are four B&S style end mill Holders for Weldon Shank end mills. They are 1/8, 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4. Two are Browne and Sharpe, Providence, RI USA and two are Putnam, Detroit, MI USA. All are marked as #9 and have 1/2 X 13 draw bar threads.

I need to know what milling machines used these so that I can more fully describe them. I intend to list them below in the tools for sale area.

Any information will be appreciated.

Are these collets or endmill holders ? If they are for sure B&S #9 I could use them in my Gorton # 8 1/2 D vertical mill.

My Sheldon horizontal mill uses #9 B&S taper tooling and/or tool holders. Many of the older, smaller horizontal mills use #9 B&S tooling. It is quite common with them.

Where were you when I needed them and had to buy a Chinese set? ? ? ? ? ? ? :bawling:

I've owned them for about two days. LOL. I only use R8's.

I just listed these in the Tooling for sale forum here. You can always use some spares, can't you?

My L-W (Toledo, OH) dividing head has a B&S 9 spindle and came with a nice collet chuck with that shank. Larry

The B & S "0" mill, circa 1893 that I bought from 99panhard here, has a B & S 9 taper. Here is the mill: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/b-s-0-mill-w-pictures-115557/

I could use some tooling.

Hey;

Before the two families were joined, US Machine Tool Co. mills used the B&S #9 taper as well. Also, it is helpful to search Tree Mill for such items, as some of them also used that taper. I have universal Engineering Y, Z, and ZZ Double Taper Collet tool holders and a decent selection of collets for my USMT V2 mill. As hard as they are to find, and they are quite rare, I ended up with TWO Z holders and a decent selection of duplicate collets that I would sell if anyone was interested.

Diamond Mills were B&S 9. These were the ones made in Los Angeles. I have a B12, 1944 vintage.

Mcandrew1894 · Jul 29, 2013

Ok ....I got some pictures

Everything is Weldon, with the exception of the 3/4" one which is a Putnam

3 3/8
2 1/2"
2 5/8"
1 3/4"

$15 each

I also found these

#9 taper finish reamer and plug gage
The plug gage has a little surface rust, but is in otherwise excellent shape.

$40 for the pair.

Let me know
