Tap Guide, 2MT Short, Fisher

This tap guide helps you start threaded holes straight.

The reversible point is spring loaded to maintain pressure on the tap. One end of the point has a center hole for small taps, while the other end is pointed for larger taps.

The 2 Morse taper body is ground to fit the tailstock of the mini lathe.

Remove the setscrew in the back end to reverse the point.

This is a quality American-made product from Fisher Machine Shop.

Fisher Machine Shop produces American-quality tools at moderate prices. They are a great value.

 

This product is specifically designed for use on the mini lathe tailstock with a short 2MT quill.

Don't buy this product for other lathes as it won't eject from the tailstock when you retract the quill.

If you want this American made tap guide to use in a 2MT tailstock designed for a longer arbor, you can replace the set screw in the end, with a socket head cap screw that is 3/8"-24 thread. A one inch screw is a good size. One source for these screws is McMaster-Carr 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Screws.
