Spindle nose on a lathe headstock. The small female taper is a Morse taper to take a lathe center or a tool such as a twist drill. The large male taper takes a lathe chuck, which is retained by the large nut. A machine taper is a system for securing cutting tools or toolholders in the spindle of a machine tool or power tool.
11/32 inch drills: long-series Morse, plain Morse, jobber. The image shows a long-series drill compared to its diametric equivalents, all are 11 ⁄ 32 inch (8.7313 mm) in diameter. The equivalent Morse taper drill shown in the middle is of the usual length for a taper-shank drill. The lower drill bit is the jobber or parallel shank equivalent.
The Morse taper twist drill bits pictured right are used in metalworking. The full range of tapers is from 0 to 7. The Morse taper allows the bit to be mounted directly into the spindle of a drill, lathe tailstock, or (with the use of adapters) into the spindle of milling machines. It is a self-locking (or self holding) taper of approximately 5 ...

For example, the self-releasing NMTB/Cat taper is 3.5/12, which is only 16.5943° cone angle (8.2971°per side) (pictures available by typing "NMTB taper" into images.google.com). If one of the questions is "how did Morse know what degree of taper would produce self-holding rather than self-releasing", the answer is undoubtedly simple "cut and ...
In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis. [1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread .
The Morse taper is a common machine taper frequently used in drills, lathes and small milling machines. Chucks for drilling usually use a Morse taper and can be removed to accommodate Morse taper drill bits. Morse taper collet sets usually employ ER collets in an adaptor to suit the Morse taper.
