Here is a link to the manual it has a few picks where it looks like a
regular drill press chuck shoved on the end of a motor spindle

The challenge is keeping the multiple spindle head stable. In other words,
it's a gear box with one input and multiple outputs.

I can, with almost no problem at all make it go onto that motor shaft.

However, here is where we run into a few small problems:

1. I'm not all that familiar with these units. I'm basing my opinion off of
what I see in the manual link you provided above.

2. The length of the multiple spindle head is longer than the chuck. Is
there room for the head if it is 5-6 inches "longer" than the chuck?

3. The head needs to be anchored to something to keep it from spinning. If
the motor is (or can be replaced by) a C-face motor, then the problem is
solved. If there is somewhere nearby that we can anchor the head housing
to, problem solved. Otherwise, it's like putting a head onto a hand
drill... You pull the trigger and the whole head housing spins instead of
just the spindles.

Do you have the actual machine in shop to look at or are we working from the
manual only at this point? Maybe someone else can chime in with detailed
photos and/or ideas too.
