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.

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 ...
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.
Visual mnemonic charts have been devised over the ages. Baden-Powell included one in the Girl Guides handbook [1] in 1918. A contemporary Morse code chart. Here is a more up-to-date version, ca. 1988: Other visual mnemonic systems have been created for Morse code, mapping the elements of the Morse code characters onto pictures for easy ...
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 .
