I have a question. If you have a 7x12 mini metal lathe or similar. Then you have a MT-3 in the H.S. Now that means that you have to have a MT-3 to MT-2 reducer. Most wood lathes use MT-2.
So to the question how do you get the #2 morse arbor out of the 3 to 2 reducer. Every time I have to change it is a PIA. There must be a special tool or technique.
Here is a link to LMS that shows the MT3-MT2 sleeve.

The problem is if you haven't worked with one is. The back is solid so you only have access from the side and can't get a punch in to get a straight hit. And they can be a pain to get apart. I mite have to make a tool to put in like a lever or something.
Any body encountered this and or solved it.
Thanks
