Morse taper angles used for arthroplasties generally fall in a range of 5–18°, and when interpenetrating parts of slightly different sizes or angles (called the mismatch angle) are assembled as an interference fit, they lock together.
How do you size a Morse taper?
To determine the Morse Taper (abbreviated as MT) size of your lathe’s head stock spindle or tail stock ram, you can measure the shank diameter of an existing drive center or tail center you may have that fits.
What is the taper per foot of a Morse taper?
All units are given in inches. The rate of taper for different numbers of Morse tapers is approximately 5/8 inch per foot in most cases.

What is the difference between #1 and #2 Morse Taper?
# 1 Morse Taper is 0.369 on the small end going up to 0.475 over a 2 9/16” taper length. #2 Morse Taper is 0.572 on the small end going up to 0.700 over a 3 1/8” taper length. Number 2 Morse taper is the most common size used with woodworking lathes.

What is #2 Morse Taper?
The other way is to take the taper out of your lathe and measure it. A #1 will be 2-1⁄8″ long, a #2 will be 2-9⁄16″ long.
What is a #1 Morse taper?
Q: When ordering new lathe spindle and tailstock parts, they are listed as #1 taper or #2 Morse taper. The other way is to take the taper out of your lathe and measure it. A #1 will be 2-1⁄8″ long, a #2 will be 2-9⁄16″ long.

What is a JT33 taper?
JT33 fittings are a simple press/ friction fit. Morse Tapers, by contrast, have a threaded hole in the arbor for a screw or drawbar to positively retain the arbor. Generally speaking, a Chuck with a Jacob’s Taper #33 (JT33) is a female fitting accepting a JT33 male arbor (which is already present on the drill press).
How do I identify a Morse Taper?
Morse Taper & ASA (also #1, #2, & #3 B&S) Tapers may be identified by measuring the diameter of the hole at the face (or gage line) of the spindle or by the location, length and width of the tang slot. Shanks are identified also by the gage diameter and by the length of the shank or tang thickness.
How to calculate the taper degree of a Morse taper?
Taper Degree Calculator. Taper Degree is the central angle of the taper measured in degrees. It can be calculated from the taper % or it can be calculated with the number of the different type of tapers. For instance, a #2 morse taper has an angle of 2.86133 degrees. Use this online calculator to find the taper angle.
