Value Collection SC00185090 MT3 Morse Taper Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00185090 is an MT3 inside Morse taper adapter that converts a standard Morse taper spindle to a straight shank tool interface. Machined from medium carbon steel and hardened and ground throughout, this adapter delivers the dimensional accuracy and surface hardness required for reliable tool holding in machine spindles. At 4.75 inches overall length, it provides a stable extension between the machine spindle and straight shank tooling. It is a standard workholding accessory installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with MT3 spindles.

This adapter is suited for shops and trade applications where MT3-taper machine spindles need to accept straight shank tooling such as drill chucks, end mill holders, or boring heads. It is appropriate for both production and maintenance machining environments. The hardened and ground finish ensures consistent seating and minimizes runout when tooling is installed and seated properly in the taper bore.

Key Features

• MT3 inside taper accepts standard MT3 machine spindles
• Converts Morse taper spindle to straight shank tool interface
• Hardened and ground throughout for dimensional accuracy and surface durability
• Medium carbon steel construction for strength and wear resistance
• 4.75 inches overall length for adequate tool reach and rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental adapter for machine spindles with an MT3 Morse taper bore requiring a straight shank tool interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before inserting or removing the adapter. Clean the taper bore and adapter shank thoroughly to remove chips, oil, and debris before seating, as contamination will cause runout and improper seating. Use a proper drift and soft mallet through the spindle drift slot to remove the adapter — never pry against the spindle nose.
