Hi all VN fans,
Just starting to restore my VN 12, and starting to look for tooling. I am having a hard time finding 1" diameter shell mills for my 1" arbor. But lots of 1 1/4" cutters now on eBay.
Can anybody advise if the VN 12 will accept a 1 1/4" arbor, or 1 1/2" arbor? I assume the controlling factor is the size of the threaded poetion that goes through the overarm support - which I don't have and am in need of acquiring. (Mostly unobtainium - I know)
Also haven't seen any larger size arbors for the VN, so am wondering if they ever were made.
Also, some guy on line is advertising a VN 7/8" collet. I am under the impression the largest VN 12 collet size was so,ethingmlike 5/8". Can anybody confirm what machine a "VN 7/8" collet would fit?
Thanks much,
Glenn
