| Morse Taper (MT) Shank: The industry standard for taper shanks, ranging typically from MT1 to MT6. The exact taper size scales automatically with the drill diameter (e.g., DIN 345 standards assign MT2 for diameters 14.25–23 mm) | |
| The Driving Tang: The flat tab at the very end of the shank fits into the spindle slot. While it assists in positive driving under extreme loads, its main functional mechanical purpose is to prevent rotational slippage and facilitate easy extraction using a drill drift | |
| Point Angles: Generally ground at a standard 118-degree point for general-purpose metalworking, or a 135-degree split point for harder alloys to prevent tool "walking" |
