Indexable Face Mill with 1/2" R8 Arbor Hole

[chipinator]

Hello...
Has anyone ever seen a 3 inch indexable face mill for carbide inserts that has a 1/2 inch R8 arbor hole for steel and aluminum? I've been doing some searching around and haven't found one. I"m probably asking a lot here. Reasonably priced would be great. I almost want to laugh at that sentence. Any ideas?

I’m curious why you care about the arbor size? Just to reuse an existing one?

I'm pretty sure that will be a unicorn/hard to find, 3" diameter fly cutter probably.

I'm wondering about the shank. Does it look like this?

@Aukai I do have a 3" fly cutter.

@MrWhoopee Your picture shows one. The other is a Tormach TTS.

I was thinking a 1/2" R8 arbor with the proper engagement keys would be hard to find for a 3" face mill. I could be entirely wrong though.

You won't find a 3" with a half inch arbor hole.

It appears that this is what you have.

From what I've found, this size is for a 1-1/2" shell mill. A 3 in. mill would have a larger hole.

Suggest you resign yourself to getting an arbor too.
