This toolset is perfect for anyone starting up and don't want to pay over 2000 for a high quality toolset(wife and I are super young starting a cnc machine shop). I havent checked the tapers but they go into my 1996 Haas VF1 and eject nicely. Buyer beware though, not all tools were manufactured like they would in good ol' Murica.... so be prepared to get the needle files out and start deburring. All in all, o.k. gear for the price
