TAPER ADAPTER MT2 - JT4
Features
- Conversion: MT2 male shank → JT4 male taper (for JT4-bore chucks).
- Precision-ground tapers for low run-out and reliable grip.
- Hardened steel construction for durability in workshop use.
- Smooth finish seats and releases cleanly.
- Industry-standard geometry compatible with common machines and arbors.
Benefits
- Versatility: mount JT4 chucks onto MT2 machines without replacing arbors.
- Accuracy: concentric fit improves hole quality and extends tool life.
- Quick setup: simple press-fit—no special tools required for assembly.
Extra Information
- Thoroughly clean and degrease both tapers before assembly; debris reduces holding power.
- Seat the chuck with a firm hand press on a solid surface—avoid hammering on the chuck body.
- Remove using the machine’s eject feature or correct taper drift/wedge.
Pro Tip
- Mark the adapter and chuck with a reference line; reassembling to the same orientation can preserve best concentricity.
- If the fit feels tight, lightly stone any raised burrs—never sand or file the seating surfaces.
