No one mentioned to NOT hammer it in like you would a lathe. In fact I would
recommend that you take it out frequently. You remove the knob from the end
of the spindle and use the 1/4" Allen wrench to tap it out.
If you don't follow this advice, you will find the drive gets stuck inside
Ps Richard as for the morse slipping I’m sure you can make your own double
locking collar knowing you can work a metal lathe quite well

Hi Bill
I know I only bought the 900 for the leadscrew and rails, but it is in a
bit of a state. It has a single locking collar with the male morse with
drive dog welded on and nothing else.Lots of other things that have
been put together wrongly. even the stick-on label on the headstock is
What make you think the 2MT will slip - they don't on a lathe which has
much high rotational forces placed on it then a 900.

That’s what the double locking collar is for screws on to the headstock and
locks on to what ever is in the morse taper

Subject: 2 Morse
I have just put together my shortened 900 However I am not to impressed
with the head stock 2 morse. Will there be a chance of it slipping if the
tailstock dead center loosens and the pressure on the 2 morse eases . Do I
need to locktite it or pin it somehow ??
