Mt1.5

[SurfinNev]

Have a Toyo ML-1 with this taper in the spindle. Finally getting around to putting it back together. Any idea where to get 1.5 Morse Tapers in a blank end arbor, or even anything with this taper? Been searching but have found very little.

Hi Nev
You could try to get in contact with this guy: 1.5 Morse Taper Short Form | Model Engineer (http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=41757) He seems to have the same lathe and had the same problem. One of the answers he got was that a 1.5 was a short version of a MT2 (or possibly 1....)
Good luck

I think it was that guy I got the manual from a couple of years ago and will need to see if I can get it again, as I think I lost it when I had computer problems once.

It's certainly not a short version of a MT2 and is much bigger than an MT1.

I can't seem to find anything except the same as what you posted.

Nev maybe it's not a morse taper, have you tried to measure it ?

in that link above he reckons "therefore, that MT1.5 should be very close to 0.5990" per foot."

That's very close to a Jano taper which are .600 per foot

check out wiki Machine taper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper)

Can I do a copy and paste from machinery's handbook, copy-write ???????

Dunno if I'm right or wrong Nev but it would be worth measuring and comparing to other tapers.

Reading further down on that link he changes his measurements ? :C

[SurfinNev]

He does which is confusing. Will do some more checking and look at your link when I get more time. Am wondering if it's a morse taper myself. Can't believe what you read on the net.

Apart from the link that shedhappens put up :2tsup:,here is one with Jarno taper diagram and dimensions, Jarno Tapers (http://shopswarf.orconhosting.net.nz/jarno.html)
and Morse taper, Morse Taper Shanks (http://shopswarf.orconhosting.net.nz/morse.html)
and Brown and Sharpe, Brown & Sharpe Tapers (http://shopswarf.orconhosting.net.nz/b&staper.html)

Best source of machine tooling specs I have found so far is at Machine Tooling Specifications (http://www.tools-n-gizmos.com/specs.html) Worth a look for all sorts of tooling info.

I think it's a JT2 taper even though the dimensions don't quite point to it. Called in at Minitech but as my luck would have it, he had everything but a JT2 taper there.Will get to the bottom of this soon.
