Atlas M1-570 End Mill Driver

Anyone have one of these for the Atlas Milling Machines they're willing to part with?

the headstock is MT2
MT2 Collets will work, you'll need to make a drawbar from 3/8"x16tpi all thread

Yeah, was hoping to find an original part. Most people just use the MT2's nowadays?

Curious though, why would the drawbar need to be all thread?

Not original equipment but one can find #2 Morse taper end mill holders if you want to go that route instead of collets. That’s what I use on my MF, found them at All Industrial Supply I think. The original Atlas parts may be hard to come by, I don’t think I’ve ever run across one listed.

it doesn't need to be all-thread, just a simple solution - otherwise a long bolt would suffice

Thanks, looks like a good option, though 3/16" shanks are probably going to be hard to find.
