This taper attachment is heavy! Get
assistance when installing it on the lathe.
Wear heavy-duty leather boots with toe
protection, and keep hands and fingers away
from all pinch points. Ignoring this warning
can lead to severe crushing injuries!
This taper attachment mounts quickly to the
back bedway of your lathe, as shown in Figure 1.
Accurate tapers can be cut without repositioning
the attachment or having to offset the tailstock.
The Model SB1263 features an inches scale and
a degree scale. An angle adjusting knob with fine
threads achieves precise control when setting
tapers.
Another feature is the ability to use the taper
attachment without disengaging the cross slide
nut. This design allows the taper attachment to
be functional at any time by simply tightening
the two deadman clamp cap screws, which lock
the deadman clamp to the rear lathe way.
