Value Collection 214-8112 MT1 to MT2 Reducing Sleeve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 214-8112 is a standard Morse taper reducing sleeve designed to adapt an MT1 inside taper to an MT2 outside taper. It allows a tool with an MT1 shank to be used in a spindle or socket bored to MT2. The sleeve measures 160mm in overall length with a 20mm body diameter and a 5/8 inch projection. It is hardened and ground throughout for dimensional accuracy and wear resistance. This type of adapter is a standard accessory in machine shop environments and is installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and general metalworking tradespeople.

Morse taper reducing sleeves like the 214-8112 are used in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and similar machine tools where the spindle taper does not match the tool shank taper. This sleeve is suited for light to medium-duty operations in production and job-shop settings where an MT1 drill, reamer, or other tooling must seat securely in an MT2 spindle. The hardened and ground construction ensures a tight, concentric fit that minimizes runout.

Key Features

• MT1 inside taper to MT2 outside taper configuration for direct spindle-to-tool adaptation
• Hardened and ground throughout for precise fit and extended service life
• 160mm overall length accommodates standard tooling depth requirements
• 20mm body diameter with 5/8 inch projection
• Single-piece reducing sleeve construction with no moving parts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style reducing sleeve for machine tool spindles bored to MT2 that accept MT1-shank tooling such as drills, reamers, and centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified machine tool operators. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the sleeve. Ensure both the sleeve bore and the spindle socket are clean and free of chips, oil, or burrs before seating. To remove, use a drift punch through the spindle drift slot — never pry or strike the sleeve body directly.
