I'll gladly buy one, but no one seems to make Morse Taper 2 end mill
holders
for 3/4" shanks any more.
That has to do with the ability of an MT2 (a small taper) to resist spinning
at the torque a 3/4" shank bit might put on the holder. Even with a tanged
holder it might spin a few degrees before the tang stops it; you're likely
to nasty-up the socket with too small a holder. It's not NICE to bugger up
a taper socket! (bad machine operator! BAD machine operator!)
MSC lists 3/4" holders in MT3. Their MT2s go up to 5/8 shank, only.
