Value Collection SC00185074 MT2 Morse Taper Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00185074 is a Morse Taper to Straight Shank adapter designed for machine tool applications where an MT2 inside taper is required to accept a straight shank toolholder or accessory. Constructed from medium carbon steel that has been hardened and ground throughout, this adapter provides the dimensional accuracy and surface finish needed for reliable tool holding in lathes, drill presses, milling machines, and similar equipment. The overall length is 4 inches. The hardened and ground construction supports consistent runout performance across repeated use cycles.

This adapter is used in machine shop and production environments where a spindle or tailstock with an MT2 inside taper must interface with a straight shank tool, arbor, or accessory. Typical applications include lathe tailstock work, drill press quills, and bench-top machining setups. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and production operators install this type of adapter as part of routine tooling changeovers or when expanding a machine's tooling compatibility.

Key Features

• MT2 inside taper accepts standard Morse Taper MT2 straight shank tooling
• Hardened and ground throughout for dimensional accuracy and long service life
• Medium carbon steel construction for toughness under intermittent cutting loads
• 4 inches overall length suits standard tailstock and quill depth requirements
• Single-piece unit ships ready to install with no additional components required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental adapter for machine tool spindles and tailstocks with an MT2 inside Morse Taper socket accepting straight shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing the adapter, power down the machine and ensure the spindle has come to a complete stop. Clean both the taper socket and the adapter shank thoroughly before seating to prevent fretting or premature wear. Use a proper drift punch and soft mallet to eject the adapter from the taper socket; never strike the adapter directly with a hard hammer.
