Value Collection 214-8015 MT1 to MT5 Reducing Sleeve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 214-8015 is a standard Morse taper reducing sleeve designed to adapt an MT1 inside taper to an MT5 outside taper on milling machines, drill presses, and lathes. The sleeve features a soft body with a hardened tang, providing durability where it counts during tool changes. With an overall length of 156 millimeters and a body diameter of 44.7 millimeters, this sleeve fits into MT5 spindles and accepts MT1 tooling shanks. A 1/4-inch projection allows for clean ejection during tool removal. Machinists and tool-room technicians rely on this type of adapter to run smaller-shank tooling in larger-spindle machines without a full spindle change.

This reducing sleeve is suited for use in machine shop environments where MT1 tooling must be run in an MT5 spindle. Typical applications include drill presses, milling machines, and manual lathes used in production or maintenance settings. The hardened tang interfaces with the spindle drift slot for reliable tool ejection. This sleeve ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both general-purpose production work and toolroom applications requiring reliable taper-to-taper adaptation.

Key Features

• MT1 inside taper accepts standard MT1 tooling shanks
• MT5 outside taper seats directly in MT5 machine spindles
• Soft body construction with hardened tang for drift-slot durability
• 1/4-inch projection for positive tool ejection
• 156-millimeter overall length accommodates standard spindle depths
• 44.7-millimeter body diameter for proper MT5 bore fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard reducing sleeve for machine tool spindles with an MT5 bore, accepting MT1 shank tooling such as drill bits, end mills, and arbors.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the sleeve. Use a proper drift bar in the spindle drift slot against the hardened tang to eject the sleeve — do not use impact tools directly on the sleeve body. Inspect the taper surfaces for burrs or debris before seating to ensure full contact and concentricity.
