The key difference lies in the bearing sizes: tapered spindles require two different size bearings due to their shape, whereas straight spindles, having a uniform diameter, only need one size of bearing.
The most common taper sizes are found in a range that includes series 1 to 18, with sizes 7, 9, and 11 being particularly prevalent. The actual taper of these sizes falls within a relatively narrow range.
Tapered spindles are designed to hold muslin or felt buffs, which are screwed onto the taper until tight. They come with either right or left-hand threads and are attached to a smooth shaft with a setscrew.
When choosing a spindle, consider the tool's size you'll be using. Larger diameter tools like end mills or face mills typically require slower spindle speeds and can handle deeper cuts, removing more material efficiently.
