Most of the Taiwanese jobs are bigger so tend to be iso.It'll be an R8, it's a Bridgeport clone, I'd imagine.

Related to this?The plates are secondary plates for an indexing head, look very similar to the ones from my Hartford.
Clarkson autolock. Brilliant. Do you have a full set of collets? They are designed for threaded milling cutters.Also this one, says Autolock on it

Yes, probably for that. There should be a plate on the back held in by a wire clip round the periphery. Under that plate there will be a blanking plate like in your pics and then under that a master plate. You do not need the blanking plates in although they can be handy if only wanting a certain amount of index positions.
Yes has horizontal as well. Looks like they are completely separate motors and drives. I think you spin the whole top round to use it.In the photo with the tape measure, there is a horizontal arbor and arbor supports. Does this mean the machine has a horizontal spindle as well (see the Shizuoka machine in the latest Fireball Tool video)?
If you look on the Autolock collets, some have a groove in the ears at the bottom. That denotes a metric collet. The imperial ones do not have the groove.
And this one
Ah, yes it fits in the tailstock of my lathe and would be very handy for centre drilling. Is that what they call a C5 collet?That is another collet holder. It would be more useful for lathe use, on a self-ejecting tailstock, probably holding drills. It has no threads in the back for a drawbar so again is unsuitable for milling. Even if you were to use it for a dedicated spotting drill in the mill, it is a pain as you have to remove the 40-taper to Morse adpator from the spindle completely to get at the ejection slots to then remove the Morse collet holder. It has no flats on the body to aid in tightening or loosening the collet. If it were mine, I'd use for a centre drill or spotting drill in a lathe (providing the collet is a suitable size), something you do not need to remove from the collet very often.
The Fireball video is worth perusing as his Shizuoka machine is of a very similar design.
Looks like a TGAh, yes it fits in the tailstock of my lathe and would be very handy for centre drilling. Is that what they call a C5 collet?
Looks like 40mm? Do you know what the set of slotted plates in the second pic are?
