Why morse taper

The taper positions and holds the bit in place with friction. During light drilling, friction is adequate to hold the tool in place. Heavier drilling with stronger forces may cause the bit to spin in the hole instead of drilling. To secure the bit more tightly, the tang end of the Morse taper shank fits into a slot in the socket.

This will keep the drill bit spinning even when the drill encounters heavy resistance. Once the drill bit is fitted into the socket of the drill press by hand, it is turned until the tang clicks into place. The entire assembly is then pressed against a block of wood or metal to secure it tightly into the socket so it does not spin during use.

The bit may also be tapped with a brass or lead hammer until it fits tightly. Despite the variety of sizes, sometimes a longer or wider diameter shank is needed to fit the accessory into the machine. Socket extensions will increase the length of the bit. Sleeve adaptors add width to the drill bit so it will fit into a larger socket. The Morse taper was invented by Charles A. Design machine parts.
