Tork Craft Morse Taper Sleeve — MT3 to MT2
Adapt your MT3 machine spindle to accept MT2 tooling. This Morse Taper sleeve (MT3 → MT2) is precision-ground and hardened for accurate, concentric seating of arbors, drill chucks and centers on drill presses, lathes (tailstocks) and mills in drilling mode.
Features
- Reduction sleeve: converts MT3 female spindle to MT2 female bore.
- Precision-ground tapers for low run-out and reliable repeatability.
- Hardened steel construction for durability in workshop environments.
- Smooth finish for clean seating and easy release.
- Industry-standard Morse geometry for wide tooling compatibility.
Benefits
- Versatility: run MT2 accessories (chucks, centers, arbors) on MT3 machines.
- Accuracy: concentric fit helps improve hole quality and surface finish.
- Convenience: quick tool changes without swapping the machine arbor.
Extra Information
- Clean and degrease both the spindle and sleeve before installation to maximize holding power.
- Seat by hand pressure on a solid support; avoid hammering on precision surfaces.
- Remove using the machine’s eject feature or a correct taper drift where applicable.
Pro Tip
- Mark a small witness line across spindle, sleeve and tool shank; reassembling to the same orientation can help preserve best concentricity.
- If insertion feels rough, lightly stone only raised burrs—never sand or file the taper surfaces.
