Some time ago i aquired a small richmond horizontal milling machine.
do not know which model but it has a round overarm. Now that i have
workshop to fit it in, i have started to restore it. I was hoping on
of you knowlegeable people could tell me what type of spindle it ha
(or any other information!).
The spindle taper seems to be in between an Int 30 and Int 40 in siz
and angle, but does not have the small parallel section on the smalles
part of the taper, and the driving dog slots are different (about 1/2")
Looking on the internet the closest i can find to it is the ISO35 typ
but cannot seem to find a drawing to confirm this. Looking throug
other posts i have found that some richmond mills had a morse tape
spindle but this is definately not one of them.
Photos of the machine can be found here..

of the progress!)
