I have been using a lathe on and off for over 35 years and anytime I needed to cut a taper which was usually less than 2 inches in length and not really critacle I would just use the compound set at the angle I needed and that was that.Well I have a job that requires a 1/4 degree taper for a 6 inch length. Large dia. is 1.533,small dia.1.481.So far I have tried 8 different times to get the taper attachment set just right but am always about 1/4 degree off.Is there an easy way to get the dimensions as stated or is this to close tolerance to perform without grinding?
Thanks for any suggestions.
