If your into making your own tooling or need to find out what taper is on that mystery tool. This web site might be able to help out.

Nice link, Bernd. Isn't it just great to have a wide choice between so many "standards"  :bang:

One common style seems to be missing, though - the DIN tapers which are in effect Morse with either the fat end or the thin end cut off to shorten them. Details of those, and some of the others mentioned in your link, can be found at

Thanks for adding on to the thread Andy.

I found this place when I was looking for the Kwik Change arbors #200 for my Bridgeport. Looks like I might atempt to make my own one of these days.
