I am looking for some advice on the size of MT2 to Jacobs taper arbour for mounting drill chucks.
Long story short: I purchased a 16mm capacity keyless chuck to do one particular holding job and now I have a 16mm keyless chuck on the bench doing nothing so I may as well purchase the correct MT2 to Jacobs arbour to suit it and use it. Try as I may I cannot find "correct" relevant information out there. One supplier has sent me 2 arbours: one too large and one too small but they don't seem to have a clue as they are just an Engineering supplies warehouse.
Anyway the opening or major diameter of the taper on the chuck is a shade under 18mm. I know the measurement shown is 17.22mm but whilst trying to juggle every thing as I took the photo I managed to push the callipers into the taper a little way.
