Value Collection 214-8056 MT5 Inside MT6 Outside Reducing Sleeve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 214-8056 is a standard Morse taper reducing sleeve used to adapt tooling with a smaller taper shank to a spindle or socket with a larger taper bore. This sleeve features an MT5 inside taper and an MT6 outside taper, allowing a tool with an MT5 shank to seat securely in an MT6 machine spindle. The body diameter measures 63.8mm and the overall length is 218mm, with a 3/8 inch tang projection. Construction is soft body with a hardened tang, a common configuration for machinists working with drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and boring equipment in production or job-shop environments.

This reducing sleeve is suited for machine shops and industrial facilities where tooling adaption between MT5 and MT6 tapers is required. Typical applications include fitting MT5 drill chucks, boring heads, or arbors into MT6 spindles without the need for a full sleeve stack. It is installed by trained machinists and toolroom personnel as part of routine tooling setup.

Key Features

• MT5 inside taper accepts MT5-shank tooling directly
• MT6 outside taper seats into MT6 spindle bores
• Soft body with hardened tang for durable drift-out removal
• 3/8 inch tang projection for standard drift-slot ejection
• 218mm overall length accommodates deep spindle applications
• 63.8mm body diameter for stable, centered tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard reducing sleeve for machine spindles with an MT6 bore, accepting tooling with an MT5 taper shank.

Installation Notes

This sleeve is installed by machinists during tooling setup on drill presses, lathes, or milling machines. Always power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing taper tooling. Ensure both the sleeve bore and the spindle socket are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the taper. Use a proper drift and mallet in the spindle drift slot to eject the sleeve safely.
