What no-one has answered is whether you already have a sleeve or not ?
The MT3-2 sleeve allows you to use a variety of MT-2 tooling in the
spindle , and an MT-2 centre will also fit the tailstock . . . .
If you intend to do centre to centre operations then a MT-3 and an
MT-2 would be needed

Short answer is ¡°yes¡±. A 3MT dead center will work fine in the spindle.

The manual for my Atlas 10" says a sleeve is provided to go from a #2
Morse taper to a #3 Morse taper. I know little about machining and so I
don't know if this means I could buy a #3 Morse dead center and directly
put it in the headstock spindle and eliminate the sleeve. Would I be
able to do this, or could there still be some problems in the taper of
the bought dead center not matching like it should to the taper in the
headstock?
