MeezerMama Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Can anyone recommend a source for a spring-loaded tap guide with a 3/8" diameter shaft, or smaller? Mine has a 1/2" shank and that's all I seem to be able to find. I can't figure out a way to hold that in my Sherline mill. (I have a standard 5400, and I don't plan to do the big block spindle modification to enable larger collets). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hudson Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 How long of a shank does you tap guide have? Sherline has an adapter for holding 3/8" shank mills. You could probably bore it out to 1/2". It will fit either miller lathe. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeezerMama Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 That's a great suggestion! Thanks. And since you suggested it ... I could just buy a blank end mill holder and bore it out to 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
