This was purchased used and it showed use, but not abuse...maybe abused, but it did not show. Well made tool with very good fit tolerance. Fitted a #2 MT drill chuck to a #4 MT lathe tail stock. Worked great. Great price. Will give me many years of good service.
The seller provided great customer service. He sent the wrong one and fixed his mistake by sending me the correct one the next day without charge. He also allowed me to keep the mis-sent one ( #3 MT to #4 MT adapter).
The Morse Taper adapter seems to be of good quality steel and more importantly, it runs true. I can't detect any run out. It stays in the lathe tailstock without slipping, and it also holds the drill bits well.
