Axminster AT1416VS any thoughts?

As the Headstock taper is not Morse Taper dimension compliant it is rather naughty describing it as such in the specification.

"Shortened Morse Style Taper" would be more truthful.

I wonder how they work the magic of getting more power out than they put in.

I seem to remember the same thing being done in Shopsmith advertising years ago - something like one horsepower in, one and an eighth out iirc.

I agree Chas. It took me a while to notice on my little Jet because it's almost deep enough for a tanged arbour to seat - but in use the MT actually rocks to and fro about +/-2 degrees on the tip of the tang!

Needless to say the MT drive and live centres are short MT's and have no tangs.
