Hi All.
Thanks for adding me

I have an old multi purpose type milling machine from the Lithgow Small Arms factory. It is basically a horizontal machine with a couple of vertical heads, one gear driven, and a slotter/ shaper attachment.
I am trying to find out about the tapers in the vertical heads. The tapers look like an R8 but smaller to me. The larger is 27mm at the big end and 20.8mm on the cylindrical part the taper length is about 10mm. The smaller one has a big end of 20.8mm and a cylindrical part 17.4mm again with a taper length of about 10mm. I have no tooling that fits in either.
Anyone know how I could identify these tapers?

I have attached some pictures of the milling machine.

Regards and thanks

Andrew
