Hi all,
I have a K&T Model 2D, rotary head mill. It came with a Gorton chuck holder in it, with the infamous double taper collets, I believe them to be the “Z” size.
Anyways, there is no draw bar on this machine…so, how do I remove this collet holder? I’ve tried Kroil, and very light “taps” with a piece of wood, as well as a “chain wrench” with some thick leather (to prevent marring) with zero luck so far. Any advice?
I have included a pic of the “spare” collet holder it came with. Is it just a taper holding it in place, or is it also threaded in with the female threads at the top of the taper?
Thank you for your time and help.
