Common Lathe Spindle Bores ?
 

Anyone know of a table which lists the bore dimensions for common lathe
spindles? The MT tables I've found don't include the pass-through
diameter...

Thanks

If they are just morse tapers, expect the pass through diameter to be
very near the small end of the applicable morse taper size, which is to
say, not very big, in general.

IIRC 1 and 3/8" is the minimum bore to use 5C collets in.

Well I was also curious about the D spindles and whatever else is
considered "common."
