I thought I would offer this here to members before I list on Ebay.
It's a King Industrial Co
Tool and Cutter Grinder.
3ph in perfect working order.
To forum members I will accept $280.00 if no body here wants it I will list it on Ebay
starting at $300.00. Once on Ebay it could go much higher.
These units are well over $2000,00 new.
Thanks Matt
I would certainly consider it if it was closer. :(
I'm amazed none of you guys bought this bargain surface plate.:U I wonder how long until they drop the price.

Anyone else spot the epic fail with that boring head?
This one? Please enlighten us.
What stops the head from falling out?
I've often wondered at the logic behind boring heads whose MT shanks have tangs but there is obviously a good reason for it or why make them?
The one in question has a MT-2 TANG shank specified on its data plate so it must have come from the manufacturer that way.
Confusing enough on a baby like the one listed but Wohlhaupter list an MT5 tang shank for the UPA-5 apparently for something made by OERLIKON? Radial arm drill, jig or horizontal borer maybe?
An MT doesn't have any facility for dogs so a tang is the only way to positively stop one from spinning in its socket, still scary to think of it coming loose with nothing to retain it though.
Wouldn't call it a fail, just don't know the reason for it.

I think someone got a bargain... especially considering the accessories...

Yeah the guy was crazy to sell all that together. I offered to buy the slotting head only, but he wanted to sell them all together.
Maybe not the finest looking F3 I've ever seen, but it was a good price.
Ray is right, Morse taper is self locking and the tab does precisely squat in driving anything. It's there just to remove it, and I have tapers with cap screws, dobs of welds, and all sorts of things hanging off the end. If you look at how the tab sits up in the slot and it often doesn't even touch anything, assuming if course there even is a slot! I don't think a drawbar would be necessary for a boring head, even when facing, as there's no real pulling force on it. The geometry of the cutter is trying to force it back up in to the taper so you should be sweet as bro.
edut: sorry I stand corructed. I've just remembered some configurations of reverse facing etc where you could indeed be pulling on the taper. I've never done it on mine so dunno how it would go. Carefully I guess :D
