I have a A&S Horizontal Milling M/C Model “0A”-can anyone tell me the type of taper in the horizontal mandrel is please, As a Vertical head is too expensive for me I’m wondering if I can fit a mandrel of the correct taper to which I can fix collets etc to use an end mill in This would be run from a 2nd motor to give the higher speeds required.Its the same sort of set up as milling in the lathe with end mill in a chuck. I think my m/c was made in the 1940’s & only cost me £30 so has to be saved!!

Hi Mick

Tony shows an "0" model on his site here;- http://www.lathes.co.uk/adcock&shipleyhorizontal/page2.html

The text gives 30 INT as the taper – so there's a start for you!

Regards

Norman

Hi Mick

Should be easy to fit a self-contained vertical head where the overarm is.

Perhaps a Unimat lathe or similar small milling head.
