FILENAMES: R40andR50taper_fixtures.jpg DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of tooling fixtures bought at auction. Posted by Clark Magnuson . The following description was provided: ================================================================= I bought some fixtures at an auction at Masterman Engineering in Kent WA. The ones with the tapered holes match the taper description in "Machinery's Handbook" for R40 and R50 tapers. The cylinders are 4.464" in diameter and 2.79" high. This hardware is precision ground. What are they for? Could I sell this stuff on Ebay? I don't think I will ever graduate from R8 taper. TIA Clark
