I've been presented with an unusual project involving
cutting a 2 deg taper on one side of a disk. The part
is mild steel, 3/8 thick, 5" O.D., with a 3" hole in the
center. Guy wants a 2 deg tapered face across the
disk. That's starting at 0 at one point to doc 0.174
at the opposite side of the 5"o.d. . How would you
do it? Mill? Lathe? How to hold it? Will a four jaw
chuck hold it safely? I'm a bit leery ....
