Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Re: Cutting 2 Morse Tapers on my DIY CNC Lathe

Hi Guys,
Brett,
I swear I didn't steal your saw. I've had it for around 10 years. I've done a few modifications including John Stevenson's adjustable stop on the jaws for gripping short stock. I have also extended the movable jaw to just brush the blade so I can cut even shorter stock. When cutting very short stock, I fix a piece of 25 x 10 bar to the bottom of the rear jaw that also extends to just brush the bi metal multi pitch sawtooth blade.
Bud,
Good idea. I'll try that. I am very happy with the result as, when I lightly tap the taper home in the rotary table, I have to use a brass drift with considerable force from the under side to eject it. I think it is very close thanks to CNC.
Regards
Chrisjh
