Somebody Else's Good Idea for Lathe Tapers

Charles Spencer said:
4. Round the nose on an MT3 center for the head stock. I don't see the need for a ball bearing as the center will turn with the work.

The work will turn with the centre but there will be a slight amount of rocking of the work on the centre.

I have been using that method for decades. But not with the adjustable angling dead center. I remedy the problem of center hole angle misalignment by using a conical center drill (that's what I call it ?) instead of the standard 60° center drill…Dave.

It's called a bell center drill.
 
I posted a lathe taper attachment that I made quite a while back, from an old drill pad. It is in moderator projects. It is simple to make and works great. Since the post, I have added a fine adjustment and a scale marked in degrees.
 
Mark, any chance we could see some pictures or a link?
 
I don't remember if I saw this in the workshop series or where, but I did buy a boring head and matching mt taper arbor for my tailstock with the plan to do this...someday.
