Default JT #2-1/2 means exactly that!

Done. The manual is there under the name AMT 4030 Drill Press.


O.K. I see where some of the confusion came from. The manual
calls the Jacobs taper on the end of the spindle a Morse taper -- which
is totally incorrect.

Also -- it is a smaller drill press than I was considering, so a
Morse taper in the spindle is quite unlikely. There just is not room
for one of reasonable size. My floor-standing one only has a MT-2, and
I would prefer a MT-3 in that one. Yours *might* accommodate a MT-1,
but that would be too small to be worth the trouble.

Good Luck,
DoN.
