Typical used Monarch owner here with a typical taper attachment clamp long lost to history.
I fabber-cobbled what is likely the ugliest TA clamp in history from the parts bin. Yes that is part of the original tool holder that came with the lathe. My end goal is to turn the TA into a tracer/follower attachment, first using a physical template, then using a servo and electronic control. Seems to me that having auxiliary control of the X axis makes it ripe for doing more than just cutting tapers.
