ANSI/ASME B5.10-1994 (R2002)
Machine Tapers (Self Holding and Steep Taper Series)
Establishes (1) American standard practice for the slope of self-holding and steep machine tapers, (2) the detailed dimensions for this type of taper tool shank, (3) the corresponding dimensions for the taper socket in the spindle of the machine, including the dimensions of the keyways. This, it is hoped, will serve as a guide for future designing of machines and related equipment utilizing tapers that come within the ranges specified in the various tables.
