The photo is a picture of an Atlas taper attachment that is "sloppy". The dovetail is .005" wider on one end than the other. That makes it impossible to cut accurate tapers.
I want to true up the dovetail. It seems simple except the piece is too long for my small mill.
The only machine I have that can handle the length is a 6x18 surface grinder. So I went on a quest for a grinding wheel that has a 60 degree angle cut on it to match the dovetail angle.
I failed to find one.
Please suggest another way to make the sides of the dovetail parallel.
