Hi all,
I recently picked up a Moog MHP S-24, knowing full well of the stigma associated with these machines. (Forclosed shop deal, I had to take it to get a deal on the machine I wanted.) Anyway It looks like the mechanical side of it is in decent shape, and if it is, I am going to look at re-controlling it/getting running. Part of the decision to scrap/fix/sell includes tooling. Apparently this machine uses a "Modified No 30" tooling. From what I can see in the book, it looks like the tool holder has a cavity where the pull stud would thread in. The spindle has an expanding "collet" that goes in the cavity, expands, and holds the tool in.
Any idea what this is actually called? where I can buy this stuff at? There are a few endmill holders on ebay right now, but not enough for my needs.
I have done some searching and it always seems to end in "scrap it" Please save those comments for another thread. I am not asking value, usability, or anything. Just how to find tooling, so I can make my own decision on the fate of this machine.
Thanks in advance.
