Been thinking about my CVA no.79 mill , the spindle is the worse for wear with the morse taper end being scored badly and generally knocked about. I noticed that Tormach offer a fancy CNC style spindle cartridge with the NT30 nose , maybe I can solve my problem by adapting the new nt30 cartridge to fit into the old CVA quill ? Cost is a problem .... the Tormach cartridge ain't cheap but there is no easy fix , making a new spindle is beyond my skill level . The CVA is in good shape otherwise, I had the table ground and made a new y axis screw and nut.
