Value Collection C8888028 Morse Taper Sockets

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C8888028 is a Morse taper socket designed for use in machine tool setups where Morse taper tooling must be held, extended, or adapted within a spindle or quill. Morse taper sockets allow machinists and tool room technicians to seat taper-shank drills, reamers, and other cutting tools securely in compatible machine spindles. The self-holding taper geometry creates a friction-locked connection that resists pullout under moderate cutting loads. This part is a standard shop consumable stocked by toolrooms, production machine operators, and maintenance trades working with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines.

Morse taper sockets are used across a wide range of metal-removal and fabrication applications, including production drilling, reaming, and boring operations on drill presses, engine lathes, and knee mills. They are appropriate for both light production environments and general maintenance machine tool work. Sockets in this category are typically used to adapt a smaller Morse taper shank tool to a larger spindle taper, or to extend reach within an existing taper bore. Specific taper sizes and application details should be confirmed against machine spindle specifications before installation.

Key Features

• Morse taper socket design provides a self-holding friction fit for taper-shank tooling
• Compatible with standard Morse taper tooling used on drill presses, lathes, and mills
• Compact form factor suitable for toolroom and production environments
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, suitable for stocking or multi-machine shops

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Morse taper socket for use with Morse taper-shank cutting tools and compatible machine spindles. Confirm specific taper number designation against your machine spindle and tooling shank before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tool room technician. Before seating or removing any taper tooling, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or locked out per your facility lockout/tagout procedure. Clean both the socket bore and the tool shank thoroughly before seating to prevent fretting or misalignment. Use a proper drift and drift slot to remove taper tooling rather than impact tools that could damage the socket bore.
