(For the PDF file, K = B – L)
Taper# | A | D | L | B | K |
0 | 0.3561 | 0.2520 | 0.5625 | 2.3438 | 1.7813 |
1 | 0.4750 | 0.3690 | 0.7500 | 2.5625 | 1.8125 |
2 | 0.7000 | 0.5720 | 0.8750 | 3.1250 | 2.2500 |
3 | 0.9380 | 0.7780 | 1.1875 | 3.8750 | 2.6875 |
4 | 1.2310 | 1.0200 | 1.2500 | 4.8750 | 3.6250 |
5 | 1.7480 | 1.4750 | 1.5000 | 6.1250 | 4.6250 |
6 | 2.4940 | 2.1160 | 1.7500 | 8.5625 | 6.8125 |
7 | 3.2700 | 2.7500 | 2.6250 | 11.6250 | 9.0000 |
NOTE: At times, the female Morse Taper cavity in a machine may be slightly smaller than the maximum diameters shown above. This is because the MT tooling often extends a bit past the end of the spindle that is receiving the Morse Taper Tool. For Instance, the “A” dimension for a MT2 female cavity may actually measure 0.695″ rather than 0.700″ in extreme cases, etc. The differences in dimensions grow wider as you go from MT0 to MT7.

A nice chart but it’s functionality is limited because the “K” dimension isn’t shown in the chart–without it you have to go to extra steps to determine the angle of the taper.

The “K” dimension was accidentally left off. Thankfully, it can be calculated by subtracting the “L” dimension from the “B” dimension.
We will fix the page soon, but for now, here are the missing values:
MT0: 1.7813
MT1: 1.8125
MT2: 2.2500
MT3: 2.6875
MT4: 3.6250
MT5: 4.6250
MT6: 6.8125
MT7: 9.0000

VERY HELPFUL, AFTER SEARCHING YOUTUBE AND SPENDING HALF A DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT # TAPER I HAVE, I FINALLY REALIZED I WOULD HAVE TO MIC IT AND FIGURE IT OUR MYSELF. I FOUND OTHER CHARTS, AN ENTIRE WORLD OF INFORMATION THAT WAS WAY TOO MUCH. THIS WIAS TO THE POINT, AND DID NOT OVER FLOOD MY BRAIN. THANKS FOR THE HELP.
