Thread: Morse Taper Removal

'Is there any clever method that does not involve a hammer?'

Well yes, you can whack it with anything that has enough weight really!

Don't get too hung up on HSS either - a good quality carbon tap will beat them hollow.

I love it Harold - that and the grinding table must be the two best home made bits of tooling I've done!
 

Thread: Tipped Tools

And, harking right back to post #1 "My ground HSS parting tool broke", with all due respect, and without wishing to give offense - if you are breaking HSS and switch to carbide you will soon be knee deep in broken tips.
Thread: Cutting a Morse Taper

Thanks Harold - that gadget has the added advantage, not really obvious in the pic, of the blade being about 3/8" wide, set vertically, so that, within reasonable limits, you are not concerned with setting it on centre height - one more little simplification to the process!
 
AND I was working on one of your projects at the time!

Don't get lost in the numbers Wolfie - just get hold of a known, good, MT2 centre and work from that.
30/11/2011 19:21:55
OK - a no2 Morse Taper needs an offset of 1° 25' 50" (half the included angle) now, knowing this, how do you go about setting it? With great difficulty for most of us, I suspect, so back to direct setting with known 'good' taper - done carefully this will give spot on results every time.

The KISS principal is alive and well, and living in the wilds of Oz.

The set up looks like this - please note, however, that in this shot the centre is in the wrong way around for what you want to do - I was setting up to cut a 2MT socket at the time!

The Stuart 10V is the classic starting point - that was my first engine, and the first for a lot of other people as well.

24/11/2011 00:26:05
And there, gentle reader, is the simple and practical answer!
23/11/2011 02:27:23
I too have been using the been using dia-pitch calc for more years than I care to think about with no problems, the exception being where the pitch is, say, 1.25 I will use a 1.3, ie to the nearest higher 0.1 mm
