Tree Mill 2uvr-c - Face Milling
 

I have recently purchased a Tree 2uvr-c vertical mill and would like to
use an indexable face mill. What size arbor do I need to purchase? The
manual says that it takes a #2 Morse Taper or a #7 Brown & Sharp.

thanks in advance,

Jason

A very small one. No bigger than about 2" in diameter. Its been my
experience..and others may have different opinions..more learned
ones..that the incredible side and torque forces a face mill places on
the taper can/will bend a small shanked holder such as the 2 and 7,
over time. Ive already damaged a 30 taper face mill arbor, turning a
4" face mill. Bent it actually. Not the body..but the attachment
bolt.

My booboo..shrug.

YMMV

Seems to me, Jason, that the arbor will depend on the spindle taper in
your mill. You'll need to know what that is. Sounds like the Tree may
have been furnished with either taper.

How can I tell the difference?

Measure the spindle. You can find tables online or in Machinery's
Handbook or other places that will give you the various taper
dimensions.

Even better, if you do have anything that does fit the spindle taper,
measure that. It's easier than measuring inside a small taper.

=============================
Building on Gunner's observations, you may be better off using a
fly cutter. There are several types from the typical single
lathe tool unit to more complex ones with both roughing and
finishing tools. There was a thread on this within the last few
weeks. Being a cheap-screw, the biggest advantage from my point
of view is being able to resharpen the 75 cent HSS lathe tool
with the geometery I want. If you want/need carbide, use a lathe
tool with #2 insert for better shock resistance.

Or -- get something which you *know* to be Morse taper No. 2.
If it its snugly, that is what you need. If it doesn't, then you need
to go to the other. If you have a lathe, the tailstock taper may be a
Morse taper No. 2 (or a MT-3) depending on size. My little
Compact-5/CNC has the tailstock taper MT-1, and the headstock taper is
MT-2. The taper in my drill press spindle is also MT-2.

Good Luck,
DoN.
