MT2 Lathe Pen Press Insert

thingiverse

I crafted these inserts to perfectly match an MT2 morse taper on my lathe and also function as jaws or pads for a pen press. The goal was to utilize the tailstock as the press. The insert features a female cone designed to fit snugly onto the tip of a pen. Given that the female taper for the pen tip measures only 5mm, it can be used as a flat jaw as well since it's smaller than 7mm. I created this design in DesignSpark Mechanical and have included the RSDOC source file.
