Bridgeport tooling - MT3 v R-8
Beginner question here. Note that I own some machine tools but still haven't had a chance to start using them! So don't assume I have any commonly understood machinist knowledge cause I ain't one. Yet. I've got an old, very well used, BP that I was going to rebuild but had a chance to score a lightly used BP J-head Series 1 so now I've got two. The one I just bought is set up for MT3 tooling. Can I use this as is or should I change out whatever parts in the spindle to make it use R-8 tooling.? What parts might be involved? The old BP is pretty worn so I don't want to swap heads or take parts out for the new one. Thanks. Steve. |
