I just picked up a patterns makers mill and it has no draw bar in the solid spindle and a MT4 taper with a grub screw to secure the tooling.
I am thinking the normal assortment of drills bits, end mills, face mills boring heads and bars etc.
What are the options to upgrade this to a faster and more flexible setup?
I have some split bushings which came OEM which convert to straight shaft in 3/4" and a 5/8" with additionally is bushed to 3/8" and 1/4"
I suppose if I just had a 1/2" and 1" bushing I would be in ok shape but would like something faster to use and with many multiples to have a rack of commons set up to use.
I would find it painful to make up those split bushings and I am not finding them to buy.
I am thinking Albrecht has a keyless chuck for end mills which could be used purchased for the largest straight bushing I can get which is probably 1"
I also need a simple drill chuck but an Albrecht keyless will serve with a 3/4" straight arbor.
This is the sort of tooling that came with machine.
That index face mill is mine and on a 3/4" arbor set into the 3/4" bushing that fits to the mt4 mill spindle.
