Removing a Morse Taper Tool - 33 Seconds or Less

[Joe AutoDrill]

Thought this might be useful for some here. I believe I put this out there before for all to see a while back, but the recent discussions I had offline with someone in another forum made me think others here might find it useful.

Ridgid neither have a slot for such a tool.

[Joe AutoDrill]

Most of the larger units have Morse Tapers... Most of the smaller bench top and even some floor models use the Jacobs Taper mount only.

I'm probably going to make a video for that too some day. :)

I have a Taiwanese bench top drill press I bought many years ago. It has the slot and the tool came with it. And I don't think a bench top qualifies as industrial grade.

I guess I'll have to look around if I ever need a new drill press.

Actually both mine have Morse and jacobs tapers. My delta Morse taper started falling out once but I finally got it to stay. Guess they were just cheap models.

Bummer. My new Delta came with the slot and the tool, IIRC my old Rockwell did too.

[Father Haskell]

never know what they are.

[Doug Miller]

The tip was good for one thing, at least: a box of miscellaneous tools-n-stuff that I bought at an auction a couple years ago had one of those tools in it.

Now I know what it's for.

Simple but damn handy.
