This part of ISO 12164 specifies dimensions for receivers with taper and flange contact surfaces for hollow taper shanks in accordance with ISO 12164-3 to be applied to machine tools (e.g. turning machines, turning-mill machines). A range of sizes is specified. This part of ISO 12164 specifies the receiver of type T.
