I just bought a used Barber Colman Hobber (Model 16-16). I'm trying to figure out how to mount my hob. Tha hobber has a female tapered drive that the manual calls a #5. It's too large a taper angle to be a Morse or Jacobs or B & S. Does anyone know where to get hob holders for these machines? My hobs have integral 5/8" dia shafts. Do I need to machine something special?
