[QUOTE="texta, post: 434588, member: 192"] they make em to fit most lathes mate . though hard to find for some lathes i was lucky and got onto 2 of them one for me and one for a mates lathe. course you can cut short tapers just using your compound slide . most lathes are built so that the compound travel is long enough to cut a morse taper to suit the taper of that machine . so for instance if your machine has a number 3 morse taper spindle your compound should have enough travel to make its own tooling .i made a few morse blanks and a collet chuck for my lathe before i got this taper attachment . this taper i am cutting now is 310mm long though so way way longer than a compound can cut plus can cut using the power feed so set it up whack it into feed and step back until the cut is done with a nice even feed . . johno [/QUOTE]
