Nmtb-30 Quick Change Tool Holders

[lloydsp]

I have an R2E4 on which I'd like to mount a small lathe chuck in the spindle.

The mill takes NMTB30/QC30 holders. I have plenty of end mill holders, but no shell mill adapters or threaded nose adapters, except a couple of collet holders I'd like to preserve for that purpose.

Anyone have a holder with a threaded nose that will fit a common (say 6") chuck?

I have an R8 to NMTB-30 adaptor (with QC ring, and in very, very nice condition) to trade, if anyone's interested.

Guy out in Washington state bought up several truck loads of tool holders. I've bought several Erickson and NMTB 30 tool holders, as well as a bunch of collets. Most of his stuff is NOS in original box, but he has some used stuff as well. Has about 10,000 items listed, and usually the picture posted is a picture of the one you're buying.

I have a Unimat lathe from the '50s, way too small, and a Sherline lathe, which is still quite small. I turned the flange on the NMTB 30 tool holder down on the Sherline and it works just fine in the Erickson holder on my Bridgeport. But the chips coming off that flange were smoking hot.
