I've been thinking of building a taper attachment for my 11" Logan lathe. The stand offs are no problem , even setting the taper I think is figured out with a slot for adjustments and a micrometer to fine tune . Now I'm thinking a linear slide or a ball slide for the cross slide to ride on. Now I'm pretty sure either will work ?? Anyone worked with either , also I think 24" should do well on my lathe.
Another part of this I may add a copy tracer like I saw made on YouTube with a pneumatic cylinder replacing the screw slide , but I'd like to be able to add it to the taper build. Seems complicated but really it's simple to do. It should only need a 6" festo single or double max.
