Rohm Ejecting Drift - 3MT/4MT

This particular model is designed for 3MT (Morse Taper 3) and 4MT (Morse Taper 4) tapers.

You will typically need a hammer or a mallet to strike the drift effectively.

No, this tool is specifically designed for Morse taper shanks and slots. Using it on other taper types may be ineffective or cause damage.

The drift is inserted into a slot on the spindle and struck with a hammer. This action transfers an impact force to the taper, breaking the friction or adhesion that holds the tooling in place.

Keep the drift clean and dry. Periodically inspect it for damage and replace if necessary. Store it in a protected environment to prevent rust.

When used correctly on the appropriate taper size, it is designed to remove tooling safely. Improper use, such as striking too hard or using the wrong size drift, could potentially cause damage.

Ensure you are using the correct size drift for the taper. Apply a more forceful, direct strike with a hammer or mallet. Check if the taper is excessively seized or damaged, which may require additional methods.

Verify the drift is properly seated in the spindle slot and aligned with the taper. Ensure the striking end of the drift is clean and free of burrs for optimal hammer impact.

Clean any debris or burrs from the spindle slot and the drift tip. Ensure you are attempting to use the drift on a taper that is designed to accept it.
