Simple Ejection Method For Lathe Tailstock Morse Taper Attachments

[Retro Steam Tech]

Thank you! Thank you! Some of MT2 devices eject fine but for some it is a real bear to eject the MT2 taper.
Bowing my head in shame I will admit I have used vice grips and screwdrivers.

Duh, of course make up a spacer, why didn't I think of that.

Thanks again! I was wondering how to hold a MT2 taper so that I could drill and tap it now I do not have to! Probably saved me at least a full day.

I used to use a couple of old parallels but the spacer is easier as you don't have to hold it in place. Glad you found it useful
