Charles, metric tapers of any diameter (size 30 to 80, for machine tools) all have the same angle, which is (alpha/2)=1.432 degrees . Morse tapers, however, all have different angles alpha/2: Morse angle degrees 0 1.491 1 1.429 2 1.431 3 1.438 4 1.488 5 1.507 6 1.493
I can't see any logic behind these number except the best excuse of them all: "historically grown". Maybe it was a trick from early trade unions to keep their workers in business that would otherwise have been fired - changing the measures for each cone would keep more workers in job.
