I wouldn't do it out of plastic as it will probably deform when clamping up. I have a drill chuck arbor I need to do the same thing to. I was thinking of just putting some stock in the 3 jaw, trueing it up and clamping the drill chuck to it.
I also have a 3-2MT adapter which I was thinking of turning the outside parallel for just that purpose as well. According to the marks on the outside I don't think it is hardened but haven't tried filing it yet. Then splitting it along the length so I could clamp it in the 3 / 4 jaw and do the same, or maybe turn the outside parralel, loctite the 2mt arbor, in drill, tap etc, stick in oven with tea and then knock the altered arbor out when hot.

You can buy MT2 and MT3 sleeves wth cylindrical out side diameter I think they were originally for Capstan lathes hence they are usually 1" diameter. Would that help?

Looks like the Morse Taper extension sleeves are easier to find these days just clamp on the parallel part?

Might help @Kram
For me the 3-2 sleeve is sitting in the scrap pile on the bench at the moment so I will just hold the end in the 3 jaw and put a running centre into the tang to turn it down (no cost option )

Why Blue?
Under the black, red, black was blue.
So I made it blue.
What am I to do with it?

Have a few ideas in my head.

Make the basis of a nice salad that...

Yes I can use the parallel sleeve in the er40 chuck but as soon as the drill touches the item, it will pop out the taper. I could make a push bar to go up the spindle to counter the drilling force.

A set of pockets for my Crawford Multisize M673 collets to stop them rattling about in a drawer.

Conveniently their diameter just fits 68 mm rainwater downpipe so slices cut, glued with solvent adhesive and the job's a goodun

 

[Maker]

Made a little mandrel to use 3" slitting discs on my die grinder.



Not keen on using an unguarded abrasive wheel but it's for one specific job where I think it should be safe enough.

Second attempt at making the bandsaw mobile.

Note the castors extend beyond the original stand to cope with the motor and gearbox overhang.

I did attempt TIG to join the stand to my new frame but was just too uncomfortable so ended up with corner brackets.

Don't look to closely it's all welded on a Cebora Turbo Mig with CO2. Proper old school bodgery.

Air cut-off tool no good?

Or maybe not worth buying for one job.

Don't have one, and don't like using air tools anyway. Die grinder worked a treat, just neatly cutting the top out of this strange stainless barrel thing.


Next job will be to weld a big threaded boss to the side of it to accept an immersion element, it's going to be an electric mash tun/brew kettle. Got a couple more but I don't think I can be bothered cutting them leaving the handles behind, I'll just run a 4.5" wheel around the outside.

Last nigh, well in the morning.



Hand sawn 1/4 Housing Joints. The timber planed down by hand.

The plan was to wedge dowel joints, but went for 75mm screws and Hot pearl glue.



Bee's wax, De caff tea, for the stain and Meths. 4 coats.

Cut some aluminium on the plasma and started welding it together.

Welding finished.

In place and loaded with the MT4 chucks, centres and sleeves.

A small batch of conveyor legs finished.

I'm most jealous of that T slot table. It's a beast! Love the row of cabinets. That's the gold standard of workshops right there.

Thats the baby one, the big one lives outside. Not much you cant build on that

How much packing did you have to give those legs and feet for them to come out straight?

Is there anything inside to prevent them from sliding out or hanging down?

 

[Munkul]

I didn't bother on those, lol. Too short to clamp properly, but also too short to warp much in the key dimensions.

 

[Hood]

No, just the hole through the 5mm aluminium.

 

[Dexy]

Was drilling some heavier steel and adjusting the stand was getting a pain so old ram off engine crane and a spring and foot pedal no more straining lol
