So, I have a Wade 8a that I'm refreshing. I'm far from being finished but am already seeing the need for a taper attachment. I've review the various images on Wade8a.com (rock'n Wade site!) and for the life of me I can't get my head wrapped around how it works. I've searched high and low on videos, images, etc, and am hoping that someone here either has a video, how to, or????
From there, I'll determine if I want to machine one. (Would love to have an original, but they are impossible to find.) I have a friend who is just AWESOME enough that he may be up to the challenge. However, before I make something, I need to understand how it works. (Call me crazy)

I have a complete original taper attachment for the Wade 8A that I am going to sell.

I've been looking for one for my Logan and they're all over $1000. Seems kinda cheap...
 
Yeah, sent inventor an email. Looked over the plans and as fun as it would be to make one, I'll need to turn tapers before I'd be finished.
