If so, have a look to see if there is a removable setscrew on the tailstock which engages the slot under the Morse taper barrel to prevent its rotation. The slot may not be machined the full length of the barrel, and the setscrew is preventing its removal.
No Mike, just enquiring how I would go about removing a taper in the tailstock barrel / quill.
The machine is new to me, I don't have any tapers to fit in it yet. It's a MT2.
If I need to go down the route of either boring a through hole or milling slots what would be the best option ?
I would guess boring the hole is easiest for me as I don't have a mill, but what would be the best method?
