Hello all, been doing some more internet searching in the hope to acquire a bit more usable knowledge in using my lathe and setting up.
I came across an article which shows a taper turning attachment. Useful for many things including making your own tooling. But also if a part needs a long taper it helps instead of disturbing the tailstock alignment.
I was wondering if anyone else has made one of these for their lathe? I have only come across one image of a finished one.

Do you have a boring head on a morse taper? If so fit it to your tailstock with a point as a centre in the hole where the cutting tool should go ;)

Hi Jo
No boring head at the moment, my lathes only got MT1 tapers, so there not that common a size.
I do like your idea though. Save a lot of messing about.
