Value Collection 222-710 Taper Drill Chuck Arbor JT2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 222-710 is a taper drill chuck arbor designed to mount a Jacobs Taper 2 (JT2) drill chuck onto a straight-shank spindle. The arbor features a 0.5 inch straight shank diameter and a shank length of 2.5 inches, allowing it to seat securely in compatible drill press spindles or machine tool holders. This type of arbor serves as the mechanical interface between the spindle and the drill chuck, transferring torque and maintaining concentricity during drilling operations. It is a standard shop consumable installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

This arbor is suited for use in drill press setups where a JT2-taper chuck must be mounted to a 0.5 inch straight-shank spindle. Typical applications include light-duty production drilling, maintenance shop operations, and bench drill press work in both industrial and vocational settings. The straight shank design allows straightforward installation into drill press quills or machine spindles equipped with the appropriate collet or chuck mechanism.

Key Features

• JT2 (Jacobs Taper 2) mount taper for standard drill chuck fitment
• 0.5 inch straight shank diameter for compatibility with common spindle holders
• 2.5 inch shank length provides secure engagement depth

• Single-piece arbor construction for direct chuck-to-spindle interface

Compatibility

Designed for use with JT2-taper drill chucks mounted to spindles or tool holders accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank. Verify spindle bore size and chuck taper specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and lock out the drill press or machine tool completely before removing or seating any arbor. Press the JT2 taper into the chuck bore with a firm, even seating force — do not strike the chuck or arbor with a steel hammer without a protective drift. Inspect the taper surfaces for burrs or contamination before assembly to ensure full contact and concentricity.
