I'll gladly buy one, but no one seems to make Morse Taper 2 end mill
holders
for 3/4" shanks any more.



Nobody makes 4 inch dia x 1/2 in shank silver & deming drills either, go
figure....

I gather that you think a 3/4" end mill holder will put too much torque on
the MT2 spindle. My primary application would be for occassional fly
cutting of aluminum with a 3" insert fly cutter with modest DOC. Is that
too much to expect?.


For the tool manufacturers, apparently yes.........'modest cuts"
no......"very light".....perhaps......realize that many shops would fire
your butt due to the hazard and possible liability....

But since you seem so determined, why not just turn the shank down on your
flycutter, or maybe even make up a new flycutter--one that actually 'fits'
the holder you already got ???
