Value Collection PLC38556J Morse Taper Sleeve Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PLC38556J is a Morse taper sleeve set designed to adapt drill press spindles, lathes, and milling machines between mismatched taper sizes. The set covers minimum inside taper sizes of MT1 through MT4 and outside taper sizes of MT2 through MT5, giving machinists and toolroom technicians a versatile range of adapters in a single kit. The sleeves feature a soft body construction with a hardened tang, balancing ease of installation and drift-out removal with the wear resistance needed at the drive point. The set ships as a quantity of five sleeves, making it suitable for equipping a full machine shop bay.

Morse taper sleeves of this range are commonly used in metalworking environments including job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments. They are used to mount tooling such as drill bits, reamers, end mill holders, and arbors into spindles that do not share the same native taper size. The MT1-through-MT4 inside range paired with the MT2-through-MT5 outside range covers the most frequently encountered adapter combinations in general-purpose machining operations on both benchtop and floor-standing equipment.

Key Features

• Inside taper range: MT1 minimum to MT4 maximum
• Outside taper range: MT2 minimum to MT5 maximum
• Soft body with hardened tang for controlled drift-out removal without sleeve damage
• Set of five sleeves providing coverage across the most common taper pairings
• Lightweight kit at 0.4 pounds total package weight

Compatibility

Designed for use with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with Morse taper spindles ranging from MT2 to MT5, accepting tooling with MT1 through MT4 shanks. No specific OEM machine model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Morse taper sleeves are typically installed and removed by machinists or toolroom technicians using a standard drift punch and mallet. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing taper sleeves. Ensure mating taper surfaces are clean and free of chips, burrs, and oil to achieve proper seating and prevent tool pull-out during operation. Never force a mismatched taper into a spindle as this can damage both the sleeve and the spindle bore.
