Introduction

The Model SB1269 taper attachment was designed to fit onto a series of South Bend lathes. Shown in Figure 1, is a Model SB1012 lathe that is fitted with the Model SB1269 taper attachment.

This taper attachment mounts quickly to the back bed way of your lathe. Accurate tapers of up to 12" can be produced without repositioning the attachment or having to offset the talstock.

The Model SB1269 features scales at both ends, reading inches-per-foot and degrees. An angle adjusting knob with fine threads achieves exacting control when setting tapers.

Another feature is the ability to use the taper attachment without disengaging the cross slide nut. This design allows the taper attachment to be functional at any time by simply tightening the two deadman-clamp cap screws, which lock the deadman-clamp to the rear lathe way.
