Spindle taper on my Richmond milling machine

Hi simon The link to the photos can only be accessed if one is a member of your group,and the link to join the group does not work from my computer, maybe that is why there have been no new members,or maybe it is my computer. Also when I do a serch of yahoo groups I cannot find your site, maybe it is me yours in the workshop John

That would explain alot, i just checked and it came up ok for me but

will get the wife to try and join and see. I am also not sure how t make the photo sections available for anyone without joining, but will see if i can, as there is a picture of the correct adapter betwee a 30 and 40 int for comparison

Can't you measure the drive dogs on the spindle? Keyway size isn't that critical as it drives in one direction only, obviously needs to be bigger than the drive dogs.

I have a couple of old chucks on 35 tapers, one a Clarkson and one a Heinz 57, I'll measure the dogs tomorrow.
