WTB: Morse Taper Test Bars

[Peroni]

Looking to purchase decent quality MT2 and MT5 test bars. Need not be new, used in good condition is fine.

Are you looking for Morse taper plug gages, or test bars as would be used in a lathe for checking the accuracy and alignment of the machine?

I am looking for the latter. Have not been impressed by the offerings from India.

I have 3MT and 5MT test bars from Miller Machine and Fabrication, but their website has disappeared, so I'm assuming that they're no longer in business.

I've also purchased these from a company in Australia that makes them, LPR Toolmakers. Seemed to be well made, but US Customs did a number on the wood boxes when they opened them for inspection.

I ordered from Brian recently, don't assume he's gone out of business, try emailing him directly: [email protected]

Thanks for posting his email address. I couldn't find it.

I too can use a MT5 test bar. Please let us know how you make out and if you're satisfied, i'll contact him as well.

I bought a 3MT test bar from amazon (Chinese?) last week and it showed up promptly and to my amazement checked out fine. Here is a link for a 2MT bar, price is amazingly cheap:

5MT bars are available too but they cost more:

I'd also be interested in any US/Europe/Japan made Morse test bar leads, as well as a B&S 7 if anyone still makes them.
