Regular price $38.90

Famag #2 Morse Taper for 10mm Hex Shank Forstner Bits

This premium quality Famag #2 morse taper is designed for mounting a Forstner bit on your lathe, for horizontal boring.

The #2 Morse taper is a type of taper shank used in machine tools, such as drills and lathes. It's part of the Morse taper system, which is a standardized set of taper angles designed to securely hold tools and attachments in place. The #2 Morse taper has a specific angle and diameter that allows it to fit snugly into corresponding #2 Morse taper sockets.

In practical terms, if you have a tool with a #2 Morse taper shank, it will fit into a #2 Morse taper holder or spindle, allowing for accurate and stable operation. The Morse taper system is used to minimize the need for additional clamping or tightening mechanisms, relying instead on the self-locking nature of the tapered fit.
