Machinists and hobbyists, this adapter is a handy little tool for your mill. It converts an R8 spindle taper (common on many bench mills like Bridgeport-style) to a #2 Morse Taper (2MT). That means you can use tooling with a 2MT shank—like certain drill chucks, boring heads, or end mill holders—in your R8 spindle machine. The adapter is hardened and ground for precision and durability. It's 5 inches long overall, with an R8 taper on the outside and a 2MT taper on the inside. Just make sure your machine's drawbar is long enough to accommodate the extra length. A simple, well-made piece that expands the versatility of your workshop. Shipping weight is about 1 pound. Always double-check compatibility with your specific mill and tooling before purchase.
