Hi,
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..
Regards
Simo
