TAPER ATTACHMENT BUILD???.

I have the Atlas Toolroom taper Attachment. It’s designed for the 10 and 12 inch lathes. I could snap some pics and take some measurements if you’d like.

That may help I've seen some on eBay but a good picture is great. I'm going on what I've found on YouTube and other photos of different machines. I'm not going for exact copy by no means. I've seen the linear slides and ball slides and figure it would help with much less friction on the tracking part.
 
Alright. I’ll get some pics and send them along. Give me a few days. I’ll try to upload them but if I can’t get that to work I’ll PM you. Cheers.

When I built mine, I just used a piece of 1/2 x 1-1/2” cold rolled and machined a slotted piece to fit. It works quite well. I just couldn’t justify the expense of precision rails.

I'm looking at China ball slides on a 30 mms rod or a pair of 20mms rods those in 600 mms run about $30 -$40 , not out of line of buying steel to make one. The bearings will really help with cuts I think.
