I have a bit of a problem with my mill (apart from the table being stuck).
Its an mt3 taper quill but I cannot get an mt3 chuck to fit as the mill has a nose under the quill the chuck must clear.
I have bought 2 mt3 chucks and both dont fit. The taper length is around 90mm yet I have a jacobs mt3 chuck that has a taper length of 105mm and it fits.
Can anyone who has an mt3 chuck measure the taper length to see if I can find a brand that will fit.
Pictures below of the chucks in my lathe mt3 tailstock.
