Value Collection 219-2012 End Mill Holder 2MT Taper

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 219-2012 is a Morse taper end mill holder designed for use in manual mills, knee mills, and milling machines that accept a 2MT (No. 2 Morse Taper) shank. It accepts end mills with a 3/16-inch shank diameter and provides a projection of 1.378 inches from the spindle face to the cutting tool. The holder is solid steel construction and transmits drive from the machine spindle directly to the end mill through a secure friction taper fit. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians working in job shops and maintenance environments commonly use this style of holder for light-to-medium milling operations on manual equipment.

This end mill holder is suited for manual milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle bore. It is appropriate for holding 3/16-inch shank end mills during face milling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations. The 1.378-inch projection keeps the tool close to the spindle nose to minimize overhang and reduce deflection during cuts. No through-coolant capability is present, making it best suited for dry cutting or flood coolant applied externally at the cutting zone.

Key Features

• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for direct spindle mounting on compatible manual mills
• 3/16-inch hole diameter accepts standard 3/16-inch shank end mills
• 1.378-inch projection minimizes tool overhang and reduces deflection
• Solid construction with no through-coolant port for straightforward, low-maintenance use
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling during tool changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for manual milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting or removing any tooling, power down the machine and confirm the spindle is fully stopped. Clean both the taper shank and the spindle bore thoroughly before seating the holder to ensure full taper contact and prevent fretting. Use a draw bar where required by the machine design to secure the holder in the spindle, and follow the machine manufacturer's draw bar torque procedure.
