Index will regrind your spindle to R8 which was the first thing I did when I purchased my machine..

Yeah I hit the panic button pretty quickly, I thought I was going for more $s. It's remarkable how that little piece of junk got in there, and more remarkable that I found it! Jim that vertical adapter is a real gem, especially being universal. You could do some interesting work with that. Bill, many years ago I purchased a repair part from Wells Index and they offered the R8 spindle upgrade, but I declined since I had a lot of B&S #9 collets and other stuff, it's a good old machine.
