TAPER ATTACHMENT
The following are the steps in the setting of the
Monarch anti - friction taper attachment.
1. Position the carriage so the turning tool is
about l II from the end of the work.
2. Loosen stud (J) and push slide (A), Figure
10, all the way in toward the headstock , po-
sition bed clamp (B) as illustrated , tighten
knurled nuts ( C) and hex nuts (D).
3. Set swivel (E) at required taper by turning
stud (F) and reading the graduations at the
hairline through magnifying lens {G).
4. Lock nut (H) at the right hand end of the swi -
vel and a similar nut on the underside of the
swivel at the left hand end. Tighten stud (I).
5. Now, turn the taper by feeding the tool to
depth in the usual manner with the compound
slide.
To disconnect the taper attachment for straight
turning, loosen stud (I), tighten stud (J), loosen
nuts (D) and tighten stud (K). After the tighten-
ing of stud (K) , bracket ( B) will slide along the
bed with the carriage . Therefore it does not
have to be taken off unless extreme movement
of the carriage would run it off the end of the
bed.
The Monarch taper attachment can be used to
turn tapers , bore tapers or chase tapered
threads . Maximum taper per foot is 4" and
maximum length at one setting is 18".
