Where this product is used

Used to mount and adapt Morse taper-shank drills, reamers, and cutting tools in drill press and lathe spindles with different taper numbers.

• Adapting MT2 drills into MT3 drill press spindles and MT3 drills into MT4 lathe tailstocks to use a full range of Morse taper tooling in each machine.
• Morse taper socket reaming to restore accurate taper alignment in worn or damaged drill press and lathe tailstock spindles.
• Providing a secure, repeatable tool mount for large-diameter HSS and carbide drills that use Morse taper shanks in place of parallel or hex shanks.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Confirm the taper number of both your machine spindle and the cutting tool shank — Morse tapers run from MT0 (small) to MT6 (large) and are not interchangeable. Use a drawbar or knockout bar to remove taper-shank tools cleanly — never use a hammer directly on the tool.
