John, when I wanted to shorten the tang on mine, I purchased a 3"
Cut-Off Blade with Mandrel. Then I clamped the Taper (with
suitable
padding) vertically in my X-Y vise on the drill press table. I
wrapped a wet towel around the Taper, to act as a heat sink, and
placed the Cut-Off Wheel in the drill press chuck. Running the
drill
press at slow speed, I fed the vise against it. I was surprised
how
easily it cut. After that operation, I dressed up the edge of the
cut
in the grinder.

Hi All,
I want to remove the tang from the morse taper that holds my
drill
chuck in the tail stock. I assume it is hard steel. I have a
hacksaw ,
metal cutting band saw and an angle grinder that I could buy a
metal
cutting blade for.
An suggestions as the best method ?
John
