Some machine spindles & tooling have reliefs on the taper. A couple off the top of my head, backplates for American long nose taper (L type) or Morse Taper arbors made by Jacobs.
I've always wondered but never found out why. Doesn't seem to be a standard. For instance, Jacobs puts the reliefs on their Morse Taper & straight shank arbors but no one else does. What are they for?
