Hi Folks,
Newbie here, so I hope this is the right forum to post question. (if not please move)
I have recently purchased a 98-99 vintage South Bend 450 machine along with a same vintage SB Mill, all in pristine shape! Hope I none OK? I am looking for a Taper Attachment which appears quite elusive to find. Any help appreciated.
BTW, I am truly a novice since my machining experience dates back to High School in the early 70's, only year and half before Vietnam. So I'm just now retiring back into a business of making chips which was my first love. Yes, now like a kid in a candy store!
The reason for the Taper Attachment - rifle barrel contouring. I need that control to build some first class products, and to keep our independence from working around the schedules of other shops.
I’ve considered just building our own. The length of taper is 0.25-.5 over 24-30-38 inches. Eventually, I’ll need to incorporate some form of custom contours.
A catalogue number, link to check, etc. would be appreciated.
Tom
