I can say it. I just can't afford it.

The used ones are not all that expensive. There is one on Ebay with a
$1200 buy it now, and several more at under $2000 . But they are not
exactly hobby machines. I could probably figure out a use for one
every year or two. The same money could be spent on a vertical band
saw and that would get a lot more use.

For a little job like Gunner is talking about, the quickest and surest
way to do it, absent a $1200 tool, is to use his internal grinder.
I think he's overly worried about taper. He shouldn't have any
measurable taper over that short stroke. If he does, he has bigger
problems with that lathe.
