Jim; When I use the standard MT3 center it goes in to far to be of any use. I was thinking that if I make one with the large end 1.015 to 1.020" it may be what I am looking for. Richard T. Northern Ne

Doing some more searching on Steves site, I find that the last year 11" was mentioned 1941, and the bore was 7/8. So, more than likely the spindle data on the later lathes will not work. Now the 7/8 b

Hi Gary, Maybe I'm misreading the question, but an R8 collet won't fit into an MT3 socket, the OD of the collet is larger than the taper bore. I've seen R8 to MT3 adapters for use in mills and such, b

How would a R8 collet with a #3MT adapter work for holding end mills for milling with my 9" SB. Years ago I turned a couple of #3 MT end mill holders that worked fine but only holds the end mill size
