What would one use this adaptor for?

I ordered an MT2 arbor with a 22mm Spigot for a face mill cutter:

and received this instead : ( good old banggood..)

The big end is threaded 1-1/2 18UNF - what would this tool/adapter be used for??

Joe

Perhaps a boring/facing head.

Emgee

It's a morse taper screw in adapter for a shell mill holder/face mill or such like.

Richard

Yes looks like it is for a boring head as Emgee says

You can see the same thread marked on this one from them

Now that you have the adapter you may as well buy the boring head.

Joe,

You might be lucky and get a real MT - one I got was anything but MT! My MT only fitted at one end of the socket and rattled enough to cause a huge amount of chatter. Totally useless.

You might be lucky to get some money back - but not much. Their customer service is carp.

I would definitely not add one of their boring heads, that is for certain - two opportunities to receive rubbish.

Likely everything they sell is sub-standard in some way.

I would only buy from them if I could afford to throw it away when found sub-standard.

I'm always amazed that people say they can't get their money back, use Paypal & if the item is no good bang a dispute in for a refund.

Well, I am not sure I would generalise as broadly as that...

I previously purchased an MT2 arbor as in my first photo, also a 100mm diameter MT2 revolving center ( for pipework) and quite a few other lathe carbide insert holders and have not really been disappointed.

Regarding the MT2 fit - here is a photo of my Shaublin ER16 MT2 chuck, the MT2 shell mill adaptor with and the threaded adapter incorrectly supplied - I use permanent marker and made thick stripes down the taper and then wedged/rotated it in the EMCO FB2 MT2 spindel. All the fits are good...particularly the incorrectly supplied arbor!

There are exceptions...I also purchased a SANOU 125mm 3 jaw chuck. Very nicely made, clean, chuck key turns smoothly, but its useless..

The jaws have a lot of play into and away from the chuck face ( ie, not the play when sliding the jaw across the scroll spiral, there is also play there and not too little either!)

The first photo shows the dial up against the outer tip of the jaw, with the jaw firmly pulled against the scroll, away from the centre of the chuck, but with the jaw pressed down against the chuck face.

Dial set to zero, and the the jaw , at the dial tip, is lifted up, away from the chuck face..while kept back against the scroll, away from the chuck centre.

So any workpiece that does not extend fully through the jaws will make the jaws bell-mouth, with tapered contact on the workpiece. I intend to get my money back..and they do respond - I have good email relations with them on such issues and they respond everytime within 12 to 18 hours. Refunds occur within 48 hours..

They do have quite good stuff in general, and do replace or refund if the item does not do as advertised...I would not knock the Chinese suppliers just for the sake of it...

Joe

ER16 chuck was first typed as ER15...

Too true, they are always on the side of the buyer unless the seller has a very very good excuse. I odered a couple of 10mm end mills and got sent a 22mm one, got offered a 50% discount if I kept it which I did. Then reordered the 10mm ones and again got sent another 22mm one . Another dispute and this time was given full refund and told to keep it, luckily they are 22mm but the shank is 20mm so I could use them with my ER32 collet chuck.

Neat...

....., use Paypal & if the item is no good bang a dispute in for a refund.

I have bought about 10 items and have had around 2 mistakes. They told Me to keep the item after sending a pic of the shipping order and the UPC on the box. They promptly sent the correct replacement. The next to last order of a tool holder came in minus a carbide insert. I thought "foul" did not say anything. Ordered another tool holder and it came with an extra carbide insert, "no harm, no foul."
