Hi, Anyone familiar with the boxform VM30 Milling Machine?
Ive just got one to setup, and it's a little different from what I'm used to.
I have not managed to find much information regarding use of this machine on the net.
I have boughta a copy of the so-called "instructions" but other than the electrical wiring diagram these were of little help.
Ive never used a milling machine with an INT30 Taper before, and cannot work out how to remove the collet chuck currently fitted.
I have unbolted the two locating/securing blocks next to the taper, but without a drawbar to 'bash', cant seem to get it out.
Is is just a mater of drifting it out against the bottom of the spindle/taper.
On the subject of drawbars is the VM30 capabvle of having one?
The specification mentions a drawbar, but I cant see where it may fit in my machine.
There is a plate to the top of the spindle with a pair of holes in (like an anglegrinder nut). but I assume this is just for taking the slack out of the spindle.
Regards
Jon
