CT129N Clamping kit ???

[JaxxMan]

The draw bar is included now, the first one I ordered was missing it so I made one.
I was also told they have limited stock but I imagine if they get more interest they will order more slow boat from China.

awesome, thank you.

I'll have to contact and arrange for one to be ordered or picked up.

Thanks again, Robert

For any body that is still looking at getting a CT129 mill and you would like a R8 spindle instead well good news...
here are the links for them: you just go on the normal page http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?NTITEM=CT129N
and then remove the N as so http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?NTITEM=CT129
now check the price which should be $1009.00 and add R8 to the address...http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?NTITEM=CT129R8 and the price as droped to $93.99 so a total of $1102.99 a little bit cheaper than just the CT129N at $1299. with an added bonus of a free MT2 paper weight spindle !!

Do you know if the CT129R8 spindle will work in the CT129N (MT3). I just picked up a used CT129N and wonder if/why I should switch this over to R8.

[sfrankland]

I have been wondering the samething. But then again I haven't had any issue with the MT3.

When I picked up my clamp kit I ended up getting the 3/8" kit and milled the tee nuts down. The Busy Bee in Dartmouth didn't have the proper one in. I also got mine on sale.

I switched my MT2 for an R8 because I allready had all tooling in R8 but the spindle will fit the CT129N.

Is anyone interested in selling their old MT2 spindles?

I have a new CT129N, still in the crate. I bought a clamping kit with it, the bottom t's are slightly oversized, busybee didn't have one that fit, out of 6 we tried.

Still waiting on a work bench for it.

I'll ask the machinist at work how best to go about milling the t's down. That will be my first project.

Greetings,

I have just purchased a 129N and was informed that neither the metric or imperial t-nuts will fit. I had to mill mine down. Its a good first project.
The 129N comes with two t bolts that are just enough for you to secure a milling vice to the bed. Once you have two done you are on your way.
