Lathe Tapering Jig - Setup and Calibration

This is the last video in the series, and it goes over the setup and calibration of the Lathe Tapering Jig. I walk thru the process for a 6 degree and a 12.8 degree (Lee Valley) tapered tenon.
Here’s is a link to the Sorby Stebcenter I mention in the video. I recommend the 1/2” size: www.leevalley....

i would have screamed if you had flipped it 90 and done a face flange...
started doing that lately on the metal lathe, shallow angle or face tapers. noone seems to use the idea of taper turning attachments at right angles...
take it a bit further, add a fixed stop, some links, pivots... you can carve parabolas and other curves with no sweat. and always repeatable.

Thanks, and yes I have seen this type of setup (what I call "pattern turning") used for making spheres, long sweeping curves, etc.

Great video and I’m new to your channel. Where did you get the diameter measuring calipers you use? Never seen it before.

It's called the "Galbert Caliper", and it's great product! You can purchase one at Peter Galbert's website. Here's a link: www.petergalbert.com/tools-for-measuring-and-sharpening
