Hi, just joined the forum after finding it by chance. I have an interest in all sorts of work shop equipment and activities, but mainly car and bike related stuff. I have a Boxford 11-30 lathe and I have a question about making a 5mt - 3mt reducing bush fit into the headstock spindle for mounting centres etc, but I will start another thread for that one.

Scott, Welcome aboard, you'll find lots of help here. 5 -> 3 mt bushes are widely available and not too expensive, I'd question if it's worth making one: These can be used direct - or cut down with an angle grinder: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-3-5-Morse-Taper-Drill-sleeve-fully-H-G-/281144780153?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item417588e579 or these people will sell you the correct short bush: http://www.gandmtools.com/ and http://www.homeandworkshop.co.uk/ Good luck, Andrew |

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply, I have a 5mt -3mt bush already. The headstock spindle has this taper No.4.5 ASA.B5.10 and Boxford want nigh on £100 for a bush! I will try those links you posted and see where I get. |
