Default Holdnig endmills in Morse tapered holders Am I a fool to buy this mill/drill?

Recall that most of the Morse tooling I've seen is tanged. As most here
know, but some may not, the tang on such tools is NOT for driving the
cutter. It's nowhere near as strong in transferring torque as a properly
seated taper.


....and that is why the most common ER25 and ER32 MT2 collet chucks are
draw-bar equipped rather than made with a heat treated tang.
