Value Collection SC00187567 MT5 to MT6 Morse Taper Extension

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00187567 is a Morse taper extension adapter designed to connect MT5 inside taper tooling to MT6 outside taper spindles, extending reach in milling machines, drill presses, and lathes. The adapter measures 15-3/8 inches overall length (OAL) and is manufactured from medium carbon steel that has been hardened and ground throughout. This construction provides the dimensional accuracy and surface finish required for reliable taper-on-taper contact under cutting loads. It is intended for use by machinists and tool and die professionals in production and job shop environments.

This adapter is suited for machine shop applications where a spindle with an MT6 taper must accept tooling with an MT5 shank. Typical use cases include extending quill depth on drill presses, adapting boring heads, and accommodating longer tooling setups on manual mills and lathes. The hardened and ground finish along the full length of the adapter ensures consistent seating and runout control across repeated tool changes.

Key Features

• MT5 inside taper accepts standard MT5 shank tooling
• MT6 outside taper seats directly into MT6 spindles
• 15-3/8 inches OAL for extended reach applications
• Medium carbon steel construction for rigidity under load
• Hardened and ground throughout for dimensional accuracy and runout control
• UNSPSC Code 27112800 for procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extension adapter for machine tools equipped with an MT6 spindle taper requiring MT5 inside taper tooling acceptance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified machine tool operators. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing any taper adapter. Clean all taper surfaces thoroughly before seating to prevent fretting and ensure full contact. Use a proper drawbar or drift bar appropriate to the taper size when securing or ejecting the adapter, and never strike the spindle housing directly.
