Bent boring and facing head...

<< < (3/3)

Jonny:
Looks well made.
Whip the draw bar out and offer it in to the MT3 before it locks up or holds, any play?
Check for any dinks on MT3 and clean before inserting. Could also be your machine taper.

Check for any dinks on the body of boring head, mind could have crashed with a boring bar in. If it is bent I would hate to think of the forces needed unless its in two parts.
2nd picky down theres a cutout, is there one the other side? Suggesting it mightbe similar to this with driving lugs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3MT-Face-Mill-Arbor-27mm-MT3-1-2-drawbar-/360829098578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5403171a52

Long time since I posted on this... I have mounted the body up on the faceplate. Dialed it in and have started truing up the shank. I think I will shorten it down to remove the drawbar hole and think about making a new arbour to attack to what is left.

Just need to figure out the best way to attack a new arbour.
