The National Machine Tool Builders Association (now called the Association for Manufacturing Technology) defined a steep taper that is commonly used on milling machines. The taper is variously referred to as NMTB, NMT or NT. The taper is 3.500 inches per foot and is also referred to as "7 in 24" or 7/24; the computed angle is 16.5943 degrees. [8]
Unlike hand tools, a tool in numerically (digitally) controlled machines is composed of several parts, such as the cutting tool (which may be one piece or comprise a body plus indexable inserts), a collet, and a toolholder with a machine taper. Putting the parts together accurately into an assembly is required to achieve error-free production.

The drawbar pull is an important component that allows the milling machine to keep the tool in place while it’s being used. The force from the drawbar pull supplied to the tool has to be just right because not enough force would cause the tool to wobble leading to inaccuracy, and too much force would apply a lot of stress leading to shorter tool life.
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 5/8" per foot [ 3 ] that allows the torque to be transferred to the drill bit by the friction between the taper ...
Dead center (the conical piece) mounted in the spindle of a lathe and being used to support a workpiece being driven by a carrier setup. A lathe center, often shortened to center, is a tool that has been ground to a point to accurately position a workpiece on an axis.
The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.
The chuck may be held against the taper with a threaded retainer ring (large thin nut), typically wrenched with a spanner wrench of the pin or hook variety. The peak of popularity for building this type of spindle nose was the 1940s and 1950s. The chuck may be held against the taper with cam-lock posts that wedge into a stuck-fast position.
