Diamond Mill Model 36
Hello all,
A friend of mine picked up a Model 36 Diamond Universal Milling machine from army surplus. The vertical mill is incomplete, but the horz. section is complete and works. I've been helping him track down some information on it, mostly about the Horz. taper to find tooling. Here is some measurements about the horz taper: Cone Diameter Base: 1.238in Cone Diameter Top: .639in Cone Height: 2.142 Base Thickness: .449in Base Diameter: 2.675in He is thinks that it might be a bt40 or bt50, but is not sure. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Shawn Edward |

That sounds more like a #30 taper From the Machinery handbook for the NMTB style, length may be different for pullstud type holder. but the taper and gage dia will be standard. gage dia 1.25 spindle dia 2.749 pilot dia 0.690 length 2.88 taper 3.500/ft Shawn Edward wrote: Hello all, A friend of mine picked up a Model 36 Diamond Universal Milling machine from army surplus.

Shawn Edward Virtually every Diamond mill Ive seen of this size was either 30T or B&S #9 gunner The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of "loyalty" and "duty." Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute -- get out of there fast! You may possibly save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed. " Lazarus Long |
