Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster, hope I don't mess anything up.
I'm very new to machining and am just trying to figure out how to get a couple of machines setup
I've recently come into possession of an old (pre-dial) No.2 machine in pretty great condition with a heavy duty vertical head on it and a bunch of older tooling. Not sure where to find the serial number to get an exact date on it.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my hands on some tool holders and to know what will fit in the machine and based on measurements of what came with it it seems like it is likely using a #14 B&S taper with two equal size drive keys? One of the tool holders that came with it measures ~2.332" at the big end and tapers to 2.175" over about 4.25", the others are all in the same ballpark, within .005". Have I assessed this correctly?
Any suggestions on where I can get some tooling and/or an adapter from B&S 14 to almost anything else?
Thanks in advance and I'm happy to answer any questions to help get some information!
