Hi,
After a lot of Internet searching without success, I thought I'd see if anyone on the forum has information about this subject. I have a Delta midi-lathe. So far, all the drill chucks I've been able to find have an overall length of the MT2 taper such that the ram has to be extended nearly an inch for the chuck to seat properly. Those of you familiar with this lathe will know that the ram only has about 2" to begin with so I'm losing half the travel.
Does anyone know if shorter tapers are available? Or is the design/specification of the MT2 taper such that the length is set?
Thanks for any advice, info or suggestions.
Mitchell
