The lathe arrives!
John Stevenson:
My Edgewick never had the taper turning but two of my present lathes have, Ivan the Terrible, a Russian tool room lathe and my CVA.
Not sure what's on Ivan as it's buried [ literally ] but the CVA was also missing it's clamp so I made one very similar to the Grizzly one posted.
Works fine.

Thanks Dave, I do believe you're right. :thumbup: That looks like the best option to me.
I should have thought of it myself really :doh: Obviously, my path to being a machinist is only just beginning....
John - you replied as I was writing the above... I need to go to the workshop now & check how much of that square edge of the ways are available to me. I can then do a c-o-c to check I'm not doing anything stupid.
Then it'll be Miller time :) Bridgeport, that is...

Nobody can think of everything, hardly any of us can come up with much at all. But what we are good at is looking at what has gone before us and adapting to our present requirements.
Machining and developed ideas have been going on far too long for one brains lifespan :ddb:
I have a taper att, but it won't help you much as mine runs on it's own ways. Not that I'd have a clues as how to use it :scratch:
