Let me know when you hit a MT 4.5 center.


SW

Got some dimensions? Live center or "solid"?

Well ... for me, solid.

From _Machinery's Handbook_:

Taper: 0.62400"/foot
Diam @ Gauge line: 1.50000"

It is only in the ANSI tapers -- table 5 in my 25th edition. Page 910.

That table has a mix of B&S tapers for the smallest three, Morse
tapers 1 though 7, with 4-1/2 added in the middle, because it is a good
fit for a lathe spindle which takes 5C collets with a nosepiece. And
then finally, some unnamed taper from #200 through #1200 with
0.750"/Foot taper.

I've made adaptors for MT-2 and MT-3 to fit that spindle, but
having a real soft center to be trued up right in the spindle should
give me an even better center for when I do work between centers.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Saved and Ill check in my Stuff and with my buds. Im going to LA in the
morning and will be gone most of the week.

No 4.5s. Ive got a number of 4s..and a few 5s..but nothing in between.
