That's kinda what I thought, but my drill press has a taper piece that is part of the press - and then the chuck goes on it - the chuck is the female part and the part that is integral with the drill press is the male tapered piece. So I might be able to put a very large chuck on my counterbore tool, but I don't have any machine that I can install the male tapered tool into. Your Jet drill press has a female piece that will accept a tapered piece like my counterbore tool? Yes, my Jet is a female taper, with the male on the chuck. Usually on lathes and whatnot, the tool is male. With chucks it's sometimes different - see _http://www.newmantools.com/tech/taper.htm#jacobs_ (http://www.newmantools.com/tech/taper.htm#jacobs) "Most often, a drill chuck arbor has a longer end that is either a straight shank or a male Morse Taper to fit into a drill press. The other, shorter end of the arbor is a male Jacobs taper to fit into a drill chuck. If a drill press has a non-removable male spindle, the taper is usually 33 Jacobs Taper." ____________________________________ JACOBS TAPERS JACOBS LARGE SMALL TAPER# DIAMETER DIAMETER LENGTH --------------------------------------- 0 .25000" .22844 .43750 1 .38400 .33341 .65625 2 .55900 .48764 .87500 2 short .54880 .48764 .75000 3 .81100 .74610 1.21875 4 1.12400 1.03720 1.65625 5 1.41300 1.31611 1.87500 6 .67600 .62409 1.00000 33 .62401 .56051 1.00000 --------------------------------------- ____________________________________ MORSE TAPERS LARGE SMALL MORSE DIAMETER DIAMETER TAPER# (A) (B) LENGTH --------------------------------------- 0 .36510" .25200 1-15/16 1 .47500 .36900 2-1/16 2 .70000 .57200 2-1/2 3 .93800 .77800 3-1/16 4 1.23100 1.02000 3-7/8 4-1/2 1.50000 1.26600 4-5/16 5 1.74800 1.47500 4-15/16 6 2.49400 2.11600 7 7 3.27000 2.75000 9-1/2 What does anyone else do to trim agraffes? Just do 'em by hand? Sure don't like that idea! ;-) Yes, because one isn't usually removing more than a scrape or two. The end mill makes pretty quick work of it. I jumped on the tool part of your question, but David Love addressed the other part, which is whether it's a good idea to trim them down more than that. I think I'm with him on that. Always looking for the easy way out, A noble goal. I'm with you on that.
