Bob, that does make sense but the chuck is very heavy and doesn't fall out of the 2MT nose/quill, admittedly only operating under compression force. I had been told that people do mill on the MF4, but maybe I need some sort of adapter/collet mechanism made up or purchased….

Obviously the more secure the better for milling but then why do people sell threaded End Mill Holders that have a taper fit? What sort of draw bar do you recommend for the MF4 and how would the end take a collet? Should it be threaded externally like a Myford nose? Maybe I could take off the MF4 spindle and put an external thread on that …any recommendations? thanks

Thanks everyone for the guidance on drawbars – I understand the point completely, and I'm sure I can fabricate a drawbar to match the 2MT collet/holder or even drill out the spindle if it is not hollow all the way through. What about a holder for the Clare milling tool which has the bayonet-style end??
