    I don't know about others but my MT2 stuff seems to slip a lot easier than MT3.
    This is much less of a problem if it has a draw bar capability - if not I would not buy it.

    I'm happy with the MT2 on my small mill/drill.
    Some even used MT1.
    There's lots of stuff you can buy with MT2 - collet and drill chucks are easy to find for example.
    For milling, it really needs a drawbar, so get them with threaded ends. M10 is common but watch out there's also 3/8 inch so you might end up with two drawbars.

    I don't see any problems with a MT2, and being a mill it will have either metric or imperial drawbar. MT tooling is cheap compared to say NT30
