attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008608

The process in which spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex.

This class covers all attachments of spindle microtubules to the kinetochore, including the many incorrect attachments which initially form and are later corrected to stable attachments with the correct orientation for segregation to proceed (sister chromatid biorientation).
