Hi,

Posting here because I had found some posts about the Tree 2UVR Mill on this subforum. From my research, these Tree mills from the ~1940s has a "Double taper style type Z" (Elaire Corporation - Tree Mill Collets) - I was wondering if there's a way to adapt to using collets we've got for other machines in the shop like R8 or R32? I've not found anything and Eliare didn't get back to me on it.

Thanks!

I have a Tree 2uvr that uses the Z collets. I acquired a lot of collets from Ebay and can chuck most everything I need. The spindle doesn’t accept anything that requires a drawbar, the spindle is not open through the top cause of the motor location. The Z collets are available, you have to keep looking ! There are companies that make new ones, I can’t remember who,but I’ll check and get back when I can . Btw the mill is an excellent machine, and robust!
