Hi Bruce

Bruce you are muddling things up a bit imo

The Beall system comes with 3 buffs with mandrels, 2 polishing bars and
a wax bar, and a quick change shaft adapter, it fits on a straight 1/2"
or 5/8" shaft.

A #2 Morse Taper with a straight end is available separately, the quick
change shaft adapter fits on the straight end of the MT mandrel and the
mandrel can be used in a lathe, the MT mandrel is drilled and tapped
for a draw bar to use in a lathe

Here's a link for a quick look for those interested

Have fun and take care

If you are talking about a Beall buffing system, the adapter has a
taper to it, and is used for a Morse Taper (MT) device, like a lathe.
So the mandrel mounts on the adapter, which goes into the Lathe.

Otherwise, mount the buffer to the shaft of the motor, without using
the adapter.
