Value Collection SC00185017 MT1 Morse Taper Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00185017 is a Morse Taper to Straight Shank adapter designed for use in machine tool spindles and drill press quills where an MT1 inside taper is required. This adapter converts a standard MT1 Morse Taper socket to accept straight shank tooling, extending the versatility of compatible machines. It measures 3.5 inches overall length and is constructed from medium carbon steel that has been hardened and ground throughout, providing dimensional accuracy and long service life under normal machining loads. Machinists, tool room technicians, and maintenance trades rely on this style of adapter for quick tooling changeovers.

This adapter is suited for use in drill presses, milling machines, lathes, and similar machine tools equipped with an MT1 taper socket. It is a standard fitment in tool room, production, and maintenance shop environments where straight shank drills, reamers, or end mill holders need to be run in an MT1-taper spindle. The hardened and ground construction makes it appropriate for repetitive-use applications where concentricity and surface finish on the taper seat are critical to runout performance.

Key Features

• MT1 inside taper accepts standard Morse Taper No. 1 tooling
• Converts MT1 taper socket to straight shank output
• 3.5 inches overall length for reach in standard spindle depths
• Medium carbon steel construction for strength and wear resistance
• Hardened and ground throughout for dimensional accuracy and reduced runout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment adapter for machine tools equipped with an MT1 Morse Taper spindle socket accepting straight shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Before inserting or removing any taper adapter, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power source is locked out per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Clean both the taper socket and the adapter taper surfaces thoroughly before seating to ensure full contact and minimize runout. Use a proper drift punch in the spindle drift slot to remove the adapter — never strike the tooling or spindle directly.
