Hello folks,
I'm in the market for a used US made manual mill and have heard great things about Tree mills. Currently I'm looking at a couple of 2UVR mills. One has the double taper Tree style collet holder. The other one doesn't appear to have this holder (it might just be missing the collet nut, but it's hard to tell from the photos) and the owner isn't a machinist nor does he have any info on the mill. The mills are not anywhere near where I live so I'll have to commit without inspecting them beforehand.
Finally getting to my question...did all 2UVR mills use the Tree style collets? And, if this mill doesn't have the holder and/or nut are these readily available?
Thanks for the info!
