Milling Machine Tapers

Parent page is Machining

There are really only a few tapers in common use even with all the names for milling machine tapers. Quite a few manual milling machines use the "R-8" taper, but most CNC and large machines use something else. A tool-holder consists of 2 sections separated by the gage line (the gage line is an imaginary line marking the portion of the tool-holder that matches the bottom edge of the machine spindle). The taper fits into the spindle allowing the machine spindle to transfer rotary motion to the tool holder which holds the tool.

A toolholder has a 2 part specification, taper and tool. This page covers the machine-to-toolholder standard and not the holder-to-tool standard. and example might help. A NMTB #30 collet chuck and an NMTB 1/2" endmill holder fit the same machine, but hold different tools.

The NMTB refers to the taper standard family - the #30 the shank size (if they leave off the #30 part it is assumed to be the small one.) At the end of the tool-holder name is the name of the tool type - 1/2" end-mill holder

NMTB(National Tool Builders Association)

MMT stands for Milling Machine Taper - what became Erickson quick-change spindles

Conversely, a NMTB 1/2" end-mill tool-holder and a Universal Kwik-Switch 200 1/2" end-mill tool-holder will hold the same tool, but fit different machines. The drawings below show only the taper portion of the tool-holder.

Spindle Size Number

The ANSI standard size is determined by the machine size; Larger machines use larger shanks.

Spindle size to Machine size
Taper Shank No. Machine Size
#60 Very large machines
#50 Medium size machines (20 to 50 HPs)
#40 Small size machines
#30 Very small machines

All of the major tapers, except the Universal Kwik-Switch family, use the 3 1/2" in 12" model of the NMTB or 7:24. A 3/8" end-mill #50 NMTB tool-holder is about a serious 9 pounds of metal compared to dainty 3/4 of a pound for a #30 NMTB 1/4" end-mill tool-holder.


Universal Kwik-Switch

A Tool-Holders with Ears!

This taper style is also made by Collis who call it Rapid-Switch.

The Kwik-Switch is supplied as alternative tooling in Bridgeport, Wells index, and other machines. The 200 series is pretty much equivalent to the NMTB #30, but has more mass and a more positive lock.


This is not a Milling Machine taper.it is actually a 2 inch TPF.
2"/ft is about 9.46 deg   But the taper on the 200 is really 9.142848 deg ..

the 7/24 tapers are 16.26 deg .. (The narrower Kwik-Switch taper doesn't need as much vertical holding force - thus a nut rather than a drawbar.. )

According to Wells Index:

200 KS stands for 200 Kwik Switch (AKA Rapid-Switch or rapid change) designed by Universal Engineering and it is not like any other. It is about the same size as #30 NMTB or #30 MMT. Used and new tooling is available.

As the holder lock-nut is opened, coil springs are compressed. When the open position is reached, a mechanical latch holds the nut open. This latch is operated by a trigger pin. The trigger pin is depressed by one of the tool adapters lugs as the adapter is inserted into the spindle socket. When the trigger pin is depressed, it releases the compression springs. This causes the spindle nut to rotate which draws the tool adapter up into the locking angle tapered socket. Since locking force is always present, the nut continues to tighten under load.


Other companies make tooling that will fit it and call it rapid switch or rapid change. It is about the same size as #30 NMTB or #30 MMT. Used and new tooling is available

VERY IMPORTANT - one needs to press in the trigger-pin #7 while disassembling below to prevent damage to roll-pin.

In part B below - one wants to compress the spring most of the way so there is something to stop the roll-pin as it is inserted.

Tool-Holders with Collars or Flanges

Single Flange Tool-Holders

The single collar taper is the most popular, as evidenced by the numerous names it has. Most often NMTB or Erickson Quick Change. NMTB (from National MachineTool Builders' Association, 1927. and also known as DIN 2080 / IS 2340 SHANK)

You'll see it called Quick Change, NMTB, MM, National Standard, American Standard Machine Taper, ISOXX, & QCXX...

The American Standard Steep Machine Taper (ASA B5.10-1963) defines 12 tapers: #5, #10, #15, #20, #25, #30, #35, #40, #45, #50, #55, #60. Those numbers in bold are the "Preferred Series" while the others are in the "Intermediate Series".

ANSI mentions six taper shank sizes including #30, #35, #40, #45, #50, and #60. For all the sizes the taper is 3 1/2" per foot. The taper is 3.500 inches per foot and is also referred to as "7 in 24" or 7/24 or better yet 7:34; the computed angle is 16.5943 degrees

50 25.7 [1.012] 69.85 [2.750] 126.8 [5.12] 1-8

Dual Flange Tool-Holders

There are two common dual flange types: V-flange (often referred to as Caterpillar V-flanges) and BT-flange.

BT-Flange and ISO-Flange

BT-flange holders are widely used in Japanese and European made machining centers and have metric threads for the retention knob, but their adapters can be designed to accommodate a wide range of inch-dimensioned cutting tools.

The BT Flange is also known as

  • JMTBA MAS-403 "BT"
  • JIS B 6339 - 1986
  • JIS B6339 - 1992
  • ISO 7388/1 - 1983

Caterpillar V-flanges

Caterpillar V-flanges use inch threads for the retention knob and are used to hold inch-dimensioned cutting tools.

You'll see the CAT flange referred to as DIN69871

I've seen them most often referred to as CAT-30, CAT-40, CAT-45, and CAT-50 and CAT-40 seems to be the most common.

R8, R-8 or M1TR taper -- Common Bridgeport Tapered Draw-Bar

This is not truly a taper as defined by Machinery's Handbook, since it is held in place by a drawbar. Picture a long 7/16"NF bolt leading down through the spindle, threading onto the R-8 tool-holder. The included angle is 8.25°1 OD of 1.25" 18.85/2 degrees or 8.25??

Taper = 16 Deg 51 Min.Included

End Dia. .9495 +0 -.0003

Overall from front dia. of 1 1/4"is 4" Undercut dia. 15/16"

The "arctan(3.5/12)" solution by definition implies a right triangle with a 3.5" short side and 12" long side. Thus, the hypotenuse is 1.25".

Note that Morse Taper sizes (e.g. MT2 or 2MT) are also sometimes referred to by their German name Morse Kegel (e.g. MK2). The dimensions for the same number Morse Taper or Kegel are identical.

Taper wipers

Taper wipers are used to get the last bit of grit off the metal - a single spec can ruin the run out of the mechanical joint.  Traditionally, these have had felt wipers, but felt picks up the dirt and holds it - mixed with oil you now have a crude lapping compound. 

A much better approach is to use a clean shop rag - or paper towel - wrap around the taper cleaner and clean until no more dirt comes out.
