A Bargain at only £9.99
I can recommend these Drill chucks because I have used one myself for many years without any problems on both my Harrison and Axminster lathes and found the chucks to well made, solid and are reliable.
Whilst the same cannot be said for some expensive chucks that I have
bought over the years, which have long since jammed or
seized up solid. We have sold 100's of these chucks without any
problems at all, please read our excellent feedback about them. One
of the things that confuse many people about lathes is the Morse taper,
how the Morse taper works or simply what size Morse taper they need for
their own lathe, so I have written a few brief notes
below to try and help, but If have any questions
then please ask. Alan What is a Morse taper? The Morse
Taper is the " hollow tapered
hole" in the centre of the Headstock and in the Tailstock of Lathes (as
well as some Pillar drills and Milling machines) made to common
diameter sizes with a universally recognised tapered profile. Morse Tapers come in eight sizes, the taper size is normally identified
by a single digit ranging from 0 to 7 (0 being the smallest) this is normally just abbreviated to the
letters "MT" so a MT2 is a Morse Taper Number 2. It is generally easy to identify which MT you need by simply measuring the hole diameter in your tail stock, the approx Morse Taper Tailstock hole sizes are:
MT1 is 12mm
MT2 is 18mm MT3 is 24mm (MT1 & MT2 being the most popular)
whilst there are other tapers, these are thankfully very rarely found
on lathes! Of these "odd tapers" the most common is a Jacobs taper,
but these tapers are generally only found on some Pillar drills.
How does a Morse Taper work? Lathes by their nature, operate in a rotary manner and normally a rotating workpiece comes
into contact with a fixed tool, i.e. a drill bit held in a drill chuck in the tailstock,
the chuck must be held firmly in place, properly centred in line with the axis of
rotation, but also able to be quickly and simply removed. The best way of achieving this was found
to be using a tapered metal bar (similar to a ice
cream cone with the top cut off) fitted into a hollowed
tapered hole (or sleeve) in the head or tail stock. The large tapered surface area of the cone holds the shaft securely in place through
friction; hence the invention of the
Morse Taper was born (invented 1864 by A. Morse) and the Morse Taper soon became universally accepted
as the standard Machine Taper throughout the world.
