The best location in my shop for my new (to me) lathe puts the headstock too close to the wall to be able to insert a knock out bar. Is there any reason I would absolutely need to be able to use the Morse taper in the headstock? Drive spurs are available that mount in a chuck. Is there anything else that the Morse taper is used for? I know I would lose a few inches of spindle length but that doesn’t concern me.
