I’m planning a Machinist’s Hammer build that requires a handle taper. Using a 7x16 mini lathe with 2.6in of cross slide travel, it seems that one should be able to calculate the maximum taper length possible for different taper angles. What would be the maths on that? My Trig-Fu is weak…
My tailstock does have x-axis adjustment via a set screw, but I’d be worried I couldn’t realign without a lot of effort if I moved that over to make a taper.
Are there useful taper attachments for a mini lathe I should consider?
Thanks for the help!
