Cleaning up cast iron tractor weight
#10
Chuck,

If you'd be willing to find and buy an R8 shell mill adapter with a 1" pilot diameter, I've got a 2" 5-indert shoulder/face mill that I could sell you for $50. It's sold by MariTool, though I believe it's a Mitsubishi cutter. It takes APMT160508 inserts, available from MariTool, Mitsubishi and Nachi to name a few. There are 5 inserts in it now, just three spare new ones of a different grade.

While unusual to find a 2" cutter with a 1" bore (most are 3/4"), the cutter should work well for this and a number of other applications. I could drop it in the mail to you today before I leave town, you could pay me however you want when it's convenient for you. E-Mail me to work things out.

BTW, those cutters in my photo (and many more) were all used on a lowly 1HP Bridgeport without any problems.

Here's a link to a cheap but usable R8 to 1" shell mill adapter:
