hi
do you need to make a male or female taper?
as if it is a male you will not require a special tool, just set the angle on the component slide and have fun.
if it is a female, you do the same, but with the right booring bore attached
the taper is much longer than the travel on the cross slide in the compound head, hence the need for a taper attachment.
A taper attachment for an engine lathe is usually affixed to the bed and to the cross slide. You set the amount of taper, usually expressed in degrees or inches/fractions of an inch per foot, and begin cutting.
What I am seeking is a design for one made to fit the SC2 or a ready made one if there is one available somewhere in the after market.
