How to make a long thin tapered rod
I have been asked if I can make some items that use a steel rod tapering
from 1/4" down to 3/32" over about 7". All I can think of at the moment is to try and turn it but using a special tailstock centre to allow it to be placed in tension and offset the tailstock to set the taper as normal. The taper doesn't have to be accurate, it could be slightly barreled, but does need to be smooth. Any body have any better ideas. |
