Line 1:
Machine tool operators must be able to install or remove cutting bits or other accessories quickly and easily from the machine tool's powered rotating spindle. A [[Lathe (tool)|lathe]], for example, has a rotating spindle in its headstock, to which one may want to mount a spur drive or work in a [[collet]]. Another example is a drill press, to which an operator may want to mount a bit directly, or using a drill chuck.
Several options exist: (1) a ''threaded'' spindle, into/onto which accessories are screwed, (2) a permanently mounted chuck (as with some drill presses), or (3) ''a taper mount''.
