Divided he ad:
Them's some nice looking bits of kit Rob..... Nice build log too (only just read it!)

I've no use for such myself right now, but have already figured where they would come in handy  :thumbup: 

Yet another project to sit waiting in the back of my mind  ::)  :)

Thanks very much LADS for all your comments .

I no that i may only use these cone centres a  few times a year ,but when needed they are very handy (i just like making tools ) and others may not wish to go to the time to make them , This is what i used in the past ,very quick and fits on standard centre

Normal revolving centre


Drill a hole in a lump of stock say 12mm this is so you don't have to bore to a piont, then bore a 30 deg tapper ,to mach the centre


Spin it around and ruff turn the outer tapper what ever you fancy


Then stick a piece of bar in the chuck and face the end


Next fold a small piece of emery paper grit on the out side and mount the cone on the centre ,place emery paper between cone and bar in the chuch and lock up tight



Then using light cuts finish turn the cone


Used this one for years




Regards Rob
