Milling newbie needing a bit of info / advice / help
Many moons ago I bought an old Chinese combination lathe-mill.
The lathe has since had lots of use, but I have never before looked into using the mill, until now.
The first thing is, I have no idea where to start setting it up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The quill has a MT2 socket, plus two keys in keyways, one either side of the MT socket. I presume that they are removed to accept some kind of drive lugs on a tool holder, as in the second pic maybe??

Or do I need to get a MT2 arbour with a drawbar thread in it, if so, what for the other end?
It came with an end cutter, 1" parallel shank, fine thread at the end, and it would be nice to be able to use it :wink: however, given that other than that one tool, I have nothing else invested in it, so advice on which type of tools would be best suited i.e. R8, Weldon, ??? (not even sure what they are:B )
