That would likely depend on what the manufacture in china has available. For the most part though I've only seen MT and R8.
As to a do it your self ISO 30 taper that woulld depend on available room with respect to the bearings. Since I don't own one of these mills I can't comment on the bearings. In any event doing a diy spindle is a non trivial matter. It certainly would be easy for a machine shop that is equiped for such things but I'm not sure about a modest shop.
If it was me I'd either look for a mill that comes with the taper I wanted or learn to live with R8. Of course you are a long way from the US where R8 is pretty much standard on small mills. The only other option I can see is a build it yourself spindle which is not something I'd reccomend without experience.
Thanks

But I would like to put an ISO30 cone. Has anyone any idea on how to do this, or if it's even remotelly possible? |
