From the research, some of the heads use a #40 taper and others use a different collet that is rare as hens teeth as it is only used on this machine and their t&c grinders. I was hoping someone would be able to tell from these photos whether this machine has the #40 taper or not- the horizontal spindle on the U2 is a 40 and I already have some tooling, seems easy enough to find tooling in that size but I think a mill with the unique Cinci taper would be a white elephant, especially here in Aus.
Update: I just spoke to the seller, it's surplus machinery in a business they have just taken over so he doesn't know any specifics, he is going to get one of his machinists to see what the spindle taper is and send me a text.
