Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

If you look at it closely, it looks like that anti rotation feature is only bolted to the side of the main housing. You could probably remove it and make a new one which fit the MAHO better.

This is probably a really stupid question, but I was wondering about that pull stud, how do you go about screwing and unscrewing it? It looks like it's round and doesn't have any design features where you could fit a key or wrench, unlike the OTT pull studs for the Maho spindle. Is it that it doesn't need to be tightly fastened?

You might succeed in selling me on this idea after all

In the Maho speeder the top bearing is located insight the taper, I guess to make is as short as possible. Chances are that the same is happening in this speeder and the taper is not removable.

My manual says that Maho speeders took an ISO30 taper inside an ISO40 shank, your picture looks like it's just an ER collet system. They probably made various types over the years. Is it yours?

It's shiny!

And oh so cheap!

Have bought it on flea market for 80 euro. The collet I thing is M type.

If it has construction like this, than it may have removable taper.

And you use it on your machine? Does it work well? 80 € is super cheap if it works.
