Well I'll be! I have been waiting quite some time for someone else to pop up and say they have one of these. I have a 15"x54 and it actually has a taper attachment (the more expensive telescoping one I believe) but I am missing one piece to it. I have had no luck finding any spare parts for this lathe and even a threaded back plate seems to be rare. Don't know if you need any other info or if you could shed light on this for me, but I will be glad to share what I have.

Can you adapt any taper attachment to one? I have a Sheldon 10 inch taper attachment.

Frank R: are you considering selling the Sheldon taper attachment?

I just got this lathe. I am not a machinist by trade and this is my first decent sized lathe. I bought the machine for what I considered was a deal. It seems very tight and all the functions work as they should. I have a 3 jaw, 4 jaw, face plate and steady rest. As far as adapting any taper attachment I am not sure? I would ask any experienced machinists out there to weigh in on that. I have no problem adapting and fabricating but would like a little guidance if this is a possibility.

Marc has inquired and vossman has offered - assuming there is some resemblance between the vintages of the two lathes, why don't you two gents see if you can collaborate on reverse engineering?
It won't be easy - the telescoping job has very important parts you can't even see prior to complete disassembly right back to the cross slide handle
VM has these for what its worth

Yes. Send me an IM.
I would be most happy to help wherever I can. However, I won't be near my machine for a few more months. If still interested when I get back, I will send all the pics you like. The link that Johnoder sent has some good pics of it. I don't think there was a lick of difference between the 15" and the 16" as far as taper attachments go so it will probably work good. Might be able to find a suitable replacement for it.
Vossman,
I would be interested in attempting to fabricate a taper attachment myself, specifically a telescopic one. When you are available, would you be able to provide photos and dimensions? I would be willing to help out with part fabrication if you are missing points.

Dave, that sounds like an absolute plan for me! I apologize but I am overseas and won't return until mid summer. If you find something between now and then that would be good but I will definitely plan on helping out when I return. I want to get mine attached and usable as soon as I can. I can provide any info you need at that point. Thanks Dave

Just a heads up,I saw a seller on E-Bay last night that was parting out a Carroll Jamieson lathe.Don't remember who but should be easy to find.

There is what looks to be a pretty complete 15 x 48 machine for sale in the finger lakes region of NY state. Looks to have a taper attachment.

Help with taper attachment
Vossman,
Getting geared up for two weeks of Boy Scout camp, so will take a while to develop some sketches (should have been working on them this spring!). Once I get something pulled together, I will send them to you to fill in the blanks on the dimensions. That seems to be the best way to go about this. Photos of the parts would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
