At a used tool place I found a box of old end mills, #7 Brown & Shape
taper (similar to #2 Morse), with no obvious provision for a drawbar or
locking collar.? I was puzzled.? Still am.

Hi,
The Morse taper is not designed to hold against radial loads - a force
from the side will loosen it.
All the best,
Ian

I've experienced many instances of Morse taper arbors shaking out of
drill press spindles.? It seldom happens with ordinary twist
drills,but it does with wood-drilling spade bits, sanding drums and
wheels, etc.? From my point of view a drill press with provision for
a drawbar would be a more useful tool..? (But, of course, ordinary
drilling arbors are seldom threaded for a drawbar.....)

Richard,
I started all of this. All I am saying is in my milling machine when I
put in an MT3 arbor with a drill chuck for "DRILLING ONLY" I
use a drawbar because I think it's a good idea.
In a drilling machine the MT arbor is in there so tight as it never gets
removed so it should not fall out.? Whereas in a milling machine I
remove an arbor maybe 3 or 4 times a day and I don't tighten them tightly
(just firmly) to enable easy removal.
For safety reason I think I prefer it held by an arbor.

Why oh why do people not read and understand what is written before
making comments!
The original post was in response to the statement that a drill chuck
should be held with an arbor in a milling machine when drilling.
I stated that it should not be necessary as the drill chuck should be
held by the taper exactly as it is in a drill press (with knock out
MT).
At no point did I discuss using a drill chuck to hold a milling cutter.
Hands up all the posters who use a drawbar to retain their chuck in their
tail stock.

Richard,
A drawbar is definitely needed in a milling machine. Most end mills have
flutes with a right hand helix which exerts force in a downward direction
which can pull the end mill down and out if a collet. I have seen jobs
ruined such as blind pocket work and mill tables scarred up by an end
mill that drifted downward. This happen most often to the inexperienced
and it has also happened to me until I learned the hard way. Always use a
solid end mill holder of the Weldon type having a set screw on the end
mill flat held in by a draw bar. That is what those flats are for besides
preventing rotation of the end mill in the holder. These holders are
available for all standard end mill shank sizes.
Of course there will be instances that prevent one from using these
holders but they are the exception and not the rule.
