    MT2 Taper - Stanley Chuck #1 by Jon_Kelly, on Flickr

    I managed to pick up a 7/16 BSC HSS tap and a matching carbon die off eBay. Needed the tap to clean the threads in the old chuck. Carbon die worked fine.

    I went for the Myford arbour in the end, purely because of the 2" x 2" stock on the end of the MT2. If I had a knurling tool I would have knurled the bit Ive left black. Still works fine though, plenty big enough to get a grip on it while tightening the chuck.

    The only thing I need to do is put the arbour in the chuck and drill and tap some sort of extension bolt in the back of the MT2. When I put it in the tailstock, it slightly too short to auto-eject.

    Very nicely done ! A useful acquisition to the tool kit.

    Looks like your MT2 has no tang. It is likely tapped for a drawbar? If so, what I do is to insert a grub screw instead of a drawbar. Adust the grubscrew until it just ejects from your tailstock, measure how much it protrudes. Then remove grubscrew, add a low strength (removable) threadlock (like Loctite) and readjust grubscrew to the measured protrusion plus about one mm. The one mm will allow for many years of wear before you need to readjust the grubscrew.

    Quick update, I used my new chuck again the other day and decided I would tap the end for an M5 thread and then screwed an M5 Cap Head all the way in. Problem solved. It's the perfect length and my rule on the Tailstock reads zero's correctly.


    Thx
