Lathe Center stuck on Morse Taper shaft

[Skizzity]

Shalom
I assume this is what you have? See picture
There is a flat milled on the taper with two shoulders
You might have to remove the set screw completely to cleat the shoulder

Also, sorry for the confusion

Hmmmm! Maybe we be barking up the wrong tree!

Happens when descriptors are fuzzy.

That MT2 part is NOT a drive shaft. Easily misunderstood to be so by a newbie fer sure.

So, what are we actually trying to separate?

A detail to be cleared up is the set screw holeS statement.

"I’ve tried to pry between the lathe
center and the knurled aluminum collar to no effect."

Yep I went back and reread that and was 'correcting' when you posted, so I left it alone.

What is that? Drive spur stuck on the tail stock drill chuck adapter?

It is a MT2 Spur center adapter For use on a (NON-SHOPSMITH) lathe with MT2 drive shaft.

You have said you have been fuzzy lately. Are you still that way? I agree with Al. It sure looks like a SS drive spur center mounted on a SS MT2 tail stock chuck adapter.

Yeah, but he was being 'serious'.

I have used that same combination on my small delta lathe to use the SS spur drive in the #2 Morse taper of the headstock. Also used it with the the SS 1/4" router chuck to hold pen mandrels. Also used it to hold the sanding disk in the tailstock of the Delta lathe to flatten bowl rings and also to hold the drill chuck.

Sorry, I am talking about the drive shaft on the headstock;
It has a spur type center (type A in an early picture) stuck on
The drive shaft. The lathe spur type center has two set screws
Holding the lather center on the drive center.

I guess I’ll try a propane torch.

What's odd about that is the drive spur that Shopsmith sells only has a single set screw and it was always that way, as far as I know.

Things were different back in the '40's. Most 10E/ER arbors had two screws. It may be a Craftsman center however.

Yes I realize he has a Greenie.
