Securing Morse taper end mills in the spindle?

<< < (2/2)

Eugene:
Thanks Lads,

I'll try and think of something a bit less tedious than the Tubal Cain method; if I can't I'll bin the end mills and put it down in (in)experience. For the work I'm doing a parallel shank in the three jaw will probably be good enough until I contemplate the Chinese collets route.

You could bash your end mills into a sleeve and drill both , metric collet drawbars are 6mm and imperial are 1/4 Whit ,  http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Adaptors-Sleeves/Morse-Taper-Straight-Sockets---For-Tang-Type-Tooling .

Jonny:
Ideally it needs a drawbar fixing in to back of MT collet or face the consequences your finding out.
That still wont help with MT1 presumably in to MT1 taper, better of junking those MT milling cutters best left to drills and reamers with a tang.

IF tapers MT2 it opens up possibilities but still needs a drawbar. Best form of that is the MT collets with parallel internal which hold anything better than any ER more akin to the reknowned R8 work holding.
Available from many places including Arc. http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Collets/Morse-Taper-Collets/MT1-Collets-Imperial-Sizes
