120mm Tapered Arbor MK2 to B18 Hardened And Ground With Drill Chuck Taper DIN 238 - TECWERK

Take advantage of the DIN 238 drill-chuck taper and the fully hardened and ground construction for consistent concentricity; the compact 120 mm length keeps the toolstack tidy and reduces overhang. Order the taper arbor directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application advice.

Taper arbor MT2 to B18 (TECWERK) — Morse taper to B18 drill-chuck adaptor, hardened and ground

A taper arbor MT2 to B18 designed to accept drill chucks on drilling and turning machines and to ensure repeatable, standardised mounting.

• DIN 238 drill chuck taper
• Morse taper MT2 external taper
• Fully hardened and ground
• Total length 120 mm

Accurate chuck mounting for repeatable machining

The arbor is manufactured to the DIN 238 taper specification, providing a standardised interface between machine spindle or tailstock and the drill chuck. With an external Morse taper (MT2) on the shaft and a B18 receptacle for drill chucks, the component offers precise axial and radial location that reduces run-out. This reliable seating translates into improved hole quality and less time spent on rework, making the arbor a practical choice for tasks where concentricity matters.

Robust construction that extends service life

Constructed fully hardened and ground, the shaft resists wear from repeated insertions and removals, which preserves the fit and accuracy over prolonged use. The heat-treated surface hardness and the ground finish improve contact behaviour and reduce fretting, so maintenance intervals are extended and downtime is minimised. The 120 mm total length provides a compact profile that limits overhang while maintaining sufficient reach for common drilling operations.

Straightforward integration into workshop workflows

The taper adapter accepts chucks with a B18 shank and seats into any compatible MT2 receptacle, enabling fast retrofits and interchange between drilling and turning machines. Conformity with DIN standards simplifies spare-part planning and ensures compatibility across suppliers. The design is suitable for routine workshop use where secure chuck mounting and quick tool changes support efficient production and flexible tooling setups.

FAQ

What machines is this taper arbor compatible with?
The arbor fits into spindles or tailstocks with an MT2 receptacle and accepts drill chucks with a B18 shank, making it suitable for many drilling and turning machines that use these standard tapers.

What does conformity to DIN 238 mean for everyday use?
Conformity to DIN 238 indicates a standardised drill-chuck taper interface, so the arbor ensures interchangeability and predictable seating when mounting drill chucks designed to the same norm.

How does the hardened and ground finish benefit workshop operations?
The fully hardened and ground surface improves wear resistance and maintains accurate seating over many cycles, which reduces maintenance and helps sustain drilling precision in daily production.

Is the arbor suitable for precision assembly and small-series production?
Yes — the arbor’s standardised tapers and controlled finish provide repeatable concentricity, making it appropriate for precision assembly tasks and small-series manufacturing where consistent chuck alignment is required.
