I have an adaptor on my desk that is very strange. It is a Morse #2 to

cannot imagine why would anyone want to connect a probably giant chuck
with Jacobs #5 shank, to Morse #2 tapered anything. Very odd.

The #20 chuck had a #5 taper mount. It was 3/8-1" capacity, 3-9/16" in
diameter. A 2MT taper might have meant using it in a woodworking scenario?

Good point, I think that it will work for woodworking.
