What taper is the shopsmith tailstock?

Designed for use on the Shopsmith MARK V or any tailstock having a #2 Morse Taper. Allows workpiece to spin freely when powered by the Drive Center.

What is the difference between #1 and #2 Morse taper?

The difference between a #1 Morse taper and a #2 is basically the length and the “section” of the taper. Think of a long, tapered rod that starts at a point and gets larger in diameter the farther down the rod you go. You could cut a section out of any place along that rod and have the same taper.

# 1 Morse Taper is 0.369 on the small end going up to 0.475 over a 2 9/16” taper length. #2 Morse Taper is 0.572 on the small end going up to 0.700 over a 3 1/8” taper length. Number 2 Morse taper is the most common size used with woodworking lathes.

How do you determine taper?

Morse Taper & ASA (also #1, #2, & #3 B&S) Tapers may be identified by measuring the diameter of the hole at the face (or gage line) of the spindle or by the location, length and width of the tang slot. Shanks are identified also by the gage diameter and by the length of the shank or tang thickness.

Which is the male member of a machine taper?

Machine taper. Even on many drill presses, handheld drills, and lathes, which have chucks (such as a drill chuck or collet chuck ), the chuck is attached by a taper. On drills, drill presses, and milling machines, the male member is the tool shank or toolholder shank, and the female socket is integral with the spindle.

Can a MT 1 shank be converted to a MT 2 shank?

There are adapter sleeves that will convert the smaller MT male taper to hold the larger MT 2 shank, but it is not particularly advised. Usually if your lathe is designed to use a MT1 taper it is because it is only structurally designed for smallerl work.
