Taper Size Taper size should be chosen with realistic considerations. When selecting cutting parameters, keep in mind that a machine with a 30 taper spindle will not achieve the same heavy cuts or use cutters as large those on a 50 taper machine.

  • Spring pack — Can become weak or out of adjustment. This can cause chatter during a milling operation, which causes damage to the adapter taper, spindle taper, cutter, or workpiece.
  • Gripper fingers — If worn, they may not grip the retention knob correctly, enabling the adapter to move, resulting in chatter and damage to the adapter.
  • Retention knob — A worn or incorrect retention knob will not enable proper gripping for pull back on the taper. This is a very serious safety hazard due to the movement of the adapter. Using an improper knob may result in a lack of any detectable gripping force.
