The Jacobs Taper (abbreviated JT) is commonly used to secure drill press chucks to an arbor. The taper angles are not consistent varying from 1.41° per side for No. 0 (and the obscure # 2 + 1 ⁄ 2) to 2.33° per side for No. 2 (and No. 2 short). There are also several sizes between No. 2 and No. 3: No. 2 short, No. 6 and No. 33.

In mathematics, physics, and theoretical computer graphics, tapering is a kind of shape deformation. [1] [2] Just as an affine transformation, such as scaling or shearing, is a first-order model of shape deformation, tapering is a higher order deformation just as twisting and bending.
In engineering, draft is the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. It can be measured in degrees or mm/mm (in/in). Consider the fabrication of a hollow plastic box, without lid. Once the plastic has hardened around the mold, the mold must be removed. As the plastic hardens, it may contract slightly.
Since each full revolution is 9 degrees and a half-revolution is 4.5 degrees, the total is 22.5 (9 + 9 + 4.5 = 22.5). The one-half turn can easily be done precisely using any indexing plate with an even number of holes and rotating to the halfway point (Hole #8 on the 16-hole ring).
Many modern replica blades are not made with any distal taper, resulting in a blade that, when wielded, will feel unresponsive and heavy. Profile taper refers to narrowing upon the edges of the flat of the blade. Blades with a more gradual taper are meant for cutting, whereas blades with an acute taper are usually meant for thrusting.
a=chord, b=thickness, thickness-to-chord ratio = b/a The F-104 wing has a very low thickness-to-chord ratio of 3.36%. In aeronautics, the thickness-to-chord ratio, sometimes simply chord ratio or thickness ratio, compares the maximum vertical thickness of a wing to its chord.
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 ...
