Albrecht Chuck

Bob - quite right

the "spec" for r8 (according to wells index) is 4.25" and that they usually grind over that - so i measured the depth of the spindle and it measured about 4.6...so the issue is not there

i measured the arbor - 4.2 inches - so no issues there

it occured that maybe there was an issue in the threads ... sure enough, the drawbar threads needed to be chased - i did the arbor as well...issue solved!!

usable r8 spindle on mill - usable albrecht integrated r8 shank drill chuck - life is good!!

thanks to all who helped
 
I have a couple of R-8s that need spacers on the drawbar on the Rockwell mill. It never occured to me that it's an issue! I just went ahead and did what needed ro be done.
