A-taper? Those are the Morse taper type bits?


Yes, but the taper is quite small, and obviously not very fussy.
Probably a little smaller than a #1 MT. Even it proves to be
inconvenient for regular use, as long as you have a lathe available to
turn the taper, the adapter is handy in a pinch for using the bits in
that $2 yard sale box.


They tend to spin when loaded heavily?

This Milwaukee 5300 roto hammer is a beast! Got to weigh at least
15 lbs, looks like a Sawzall on steroids after a sex change operation.
I have (1) 7/16" hex shank 1.5" auger bit, and ran it through a 12"
timber like it was styrofoam. Needed those pipe handles
though..way..thats not a wrist breaker..its a shoulder dislocater.
