Introduction

This taper attachment mounts quickly to the back bedway of your lathe, as shown in Figure 1. Accurate tapers can be cut without repositioning the attachment or having to offset the tailstock.

Note: Splash guard removed for clarity.

The Model SB1263 features an inches scale and a degree scale. An angle adjusting knob with fine threads achieves precise 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.
