Re: Atlas 10" Lathe Steady Rest Question
The steady rest in the first Pic. is much better when you remove the work piece. I personally prefer the one in the first pic. it has a closed support GP

Re: Carriage Stop and Indicator
JodyYes a indicator in the front of the carriage is not good if a hot chip hits the lens of the indicator it will burn it, the lenses are plastic GP

Re: Morse Taper Spindle Finish (Another idea)
I agree with Jon sandpaper on a shaft or M3 taper will follow the path of least resistance? GP

Re: Morse Taper Spindle Finish (Another idea)
If there are some big, raised bumps on the taper ID, then such a sanding tool might tend to follow the path of least resistance and end up with a perfect, but TILTED taper. By boring or grinding with

Re: Morse Taper Spindle Finish (Another idea)
Hi Paul , In my experience you run the same risk as with the reamer if the damage / burring is at all uneven in that the shaft with emery paper will ¡°ride¡± on the burr / high spot and cut away on

Re: Craftsman Commercial Morse Taper Spindle Finish
The real way to do it would be to grind the spindle. You need a taper attachment and a tool post grinder. A reamer would also get the job done GP

Accurately setting up may be a problem, but I think a boring bar is your best (but most difficult and risky) solution to knock off the high spots. Following with a finish reamer or a sacrificial 3MT
