The measurements are nothing like any Morse Taper on the books. Or don't
you care about measurements?


That you can find, perhaps? If you actually listened and then
addressed yourself to looking up DIN standards for drill chuck
mounts you might begin understand what you have.
That they use the Morse Taper angularity doesn't make them
part of the Morse Taper Standard.


DIN? Ive never seen them. Euro stuff I take it?
