I have one of those milling attachments. I don't use it anymore because I now have a mill. But with the attachment, you will only be doing the smallest of jobs. Perhaps cutting a keyway slot on a

At those rotational speeds, everything must be well balanced. The turbine, bearings, and burs for high-speed air-drive dental handpieces are designed to spin at up to ~ 400,000 RPM and deliver an

I have the R8 version (3/8 shank) on my mill. It makes changing endmills very easy with a single allen screw, without having to loosen the drawbar. Michael - California, USA Micro-Mark MicroLux 7x16

In his book Ted Hansen does this by clamping the tool to an angle plate bolted to the cross-slide (he recommends taking 1/16th off the compound because it gives you room to use 3/8” inch tools in

Doesn't he have 2 lathes ? ??? ??? animal

I got a 3/8” MT3 adapter (at the time from Victor Machinery because they were pretty cheap.) similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Morse-Taper-Mill-Holder-Mills/dp/B077V4B2V2

If he has the compound mounted on a faceplate to machine it, he’d no longer have a compound to hold a cutter. Unless he has another lathe near by. Michael - California, USA Micro-Mark MicroLux 7x16

I started the same way did, with the lathe milling attachment. I went with a 3/8” collet and set of HSS Center cutting 4 Flute 3/8” shank endmills from LMS. <
