I'm trying to get a feeling for how many lathes use MT#1 vs MT#2. My impression is that most lathes are MT#2. But since this is just a feeling I'm trying to validate it.
Who here uses a lathe with #1 Morse Taper and what brand is it?

I have a small PSI woodturner pro that is MT 1; but my Jet midi and Delta 1440 are both MT 2. I have even heard that there is at least one lathe that uses a MT 0. Prob the smaller, lower priced lathes are MT 1 but there is always an exception to the rule.

I don't have it yet, it is on the way, but the Older Sears tube bed lathe has a MT#1, as does the new Ridgid WL-1200.
Cheers!
My old Walker Turner L540 has a #1 MT.
Just have to be different.
Headstock is #2
Tailstock is #3

What, exactly, is a "tiny JET?" The discontinued JET Pen Lathe actually takes a MT 0.Originally Posted by Ed Breen
