I put $5 bid on a #6 Whitney mill, partially rescraped by owner, local auction, missing drive. Missing horizontal spindle, but came with what looks like a BB grinding spindle in the top/overarm bore. Typical sopko grinding taper on the end. Useless to me.
My interest is a small horizontal that can be left set up for gears, keyways, and such.
Originally intended to build a spindle for 30T tooling, since there is lots here for SB mill.
Took a quick cruise on eBay "30 taper spindle" And the site is lousy with them from China.
Who knew?
Apparently intended for routers?
Does anyone have experience with one?
Is it likely to hold up for low speed/typical horizontal milling?
Thanks!
