Anson Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I recently purchased a The Fairbanks Co. Lathe made in 1900. I have a morse taper measurement of 20mm at the big end and 16.5mm at the small end approximately. Problem is this seems to be in between MT@ and MT# sizes. I have looked at other machine sizes such as Jacobs and one other I cannot remember at the moment and have come up short at finding anything. Any of you guy's have any information out there? I need a new center the one it came with is worn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
