proxxon mf70 adapter

[jose_b]

Hello.

 

Do you know any adapter (eg. drill chuck) for micro miller MF 70 in order to admit miller cutter set (24610) with 6.0mm straight shank? This micro miller doesn't work with milling cutters upper to 3.2 mm.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you have a lathe, you could turn yourself an end-mill holder that screws onto the thread on the spindle. The holder should be bored out to a tigh sliding fit for the mill shank, which would be held by three set-screws. However, the MF70 runs at speeds of 5000 to 20000 rpms, which might cause some serious balancing problems, so I would be rather not doing this.

Yes, it's better to get Proxxon tungsten milling 27116.

Thanks very much for your advices.

On the other hand, could you give me an opinion about Proxxon 24264 Dividing Attachment for MF 70?

Advice always depends on what you want to do with the things and what level of precision you expect. Perhaps you can describe this in some more detail ?
