Collis Tool 72259 Drill Driver 3/16 in MT2 Morse Taper

Product Description

The COLLIS TOOL 72259 is a drill driver designed for use with MT2 outside Morse taper tooling in machine tool spindles and drill press applications. It accepts a 3/16 inch drill and provides 1/4 inch projection, with a drill tang thickness range of 0.09 to 3/32 inch for secure tang engagement. The driver transmits rotational force from the taper-fitted spindle directly to the drill shank, maintaining alignment and reducing runout during drilling operations. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this driver when adapting straight-shank or tang-drive drills to Morse taper-equipped machines.

This drill driver is suited for metal-cutting operations on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with an MT2 Morse taper spindle. It is intended for applications requiring precise drill depth control, with a rated drill depth of 3/4 inch. The tang-compatible design ensures positive drive engagement, making it appropriate for production and maintenance machining environments where consistent positioning and drive security are required.

Key Features

• MT2 outside Morse taper shank fits standard MT2 spindle sockets
• Accepts 3/16 inch drill size (0.1875 inch decimal equivalent)
• 1/4 inch projection positions the drill accurately relative to the spindle face
• Drill tang compatible for positive rotational drive without slippage
• Drill tang thickness range of 0.09 to 3/32 inch accommodates standard tang dimensions
• 3/4 inch drill depth rating for controlled penetration in machining operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit driver for MT2 Morse taper-equipped drill presses, lathes, and milling machine spindles accepting 3/16 inch tang-drive drills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper driver. Clean the spindle socket and taper shank thoroughly before insertion to ensure full taper contact and prevent runout. A proper Morse taper drift and drift slot should be used for removal - never use a screwdriver or improvised tool to dislodge the driver.
