View Full Version : HF Micro Mill - R8 Shank Tooling jeffo2001 06-27-2007, 11:27 AM Hey everybody!!! Anyone ever tried to use R8 shank tooling with an X1 mill? I'm not sure it's even possible but maybe someone has done this. Jeff digits 06-28-2007, 07:07 AM Hey everybody!!! Anyone ever tried to use R8 shank tooling with an X1 mill?

Jeff I doubt it's possible, unless you can get an MT2-->R8 adaptor, which would add a lot of length to the spindle, further recducing the X-1's limited stiffness and cutting into it's limited Z-travel. You can ofcourse get R8 versions of the X-2 and X-3 though... |
