Hi, I’m a newbe to this site and to the South Bend in general.
I want to run 5c collets in this machine, but not quite sure what spindle nose adapter to use.
I’ve read conflicting information on the actual inside taper in the spindle that would take the adapter for the 5C collets.
Some information said it was a MT 5, and others said it was a MT 4.5 taper.
This has the external 2.25-8 thread for a chuck if that helps identify what spindle I’ve got.
Thank you for any and all help with this....Tom
