As Phil say it the Morse taper which go up 1 2 3 4 but normal only 1 2 are used in wood turning and 3 4 are metal lathes

Paul, couldn`t you just make something from a nut & an off cut of wood to do the same thing?

I bought one of these arbors Paul, but as Doug says you can make your own, but you may feel like i did at the time and not comfortable with making my own tackle ... I enjoyed making a few of these stoppers at the time ... :bwink:

Probably. If I knew what you were talking about. :idontknow:

I have literally turned about 6 pens in my life and done a beginners course at style and bates.:rolling:

Though you have got be thinking that a could just measure on a spindle ( in a chuck?) the diameter of the stopper and screw it in.... Hmmmm

In a few months time Paul, you will look back and just smile to yourself .. I guess you are like a few of us on here that seeing how things are done helps much more than reading how it is done ... I know i do ... :bwink:

Sorry Paul, I just clicked your first link & thought "block of wood in a chuck turned to size with a relief hole through the center for the thread & a nut epoxied into the end & you`ve got the same thing." Hence my first post :goesred:

No sorry needed, it's brilliant advice. I think I was being "too clever" by saying I don't know what you mean. I.e. I'm so new to this that I've only just stopped using the manual to tell me where the on button is. Rather than your explanation was unclear etc.

I love the idea of improvisation, and it's got my mind thinking of alternative ways to solve the problem. Mind you the last time I improvised I was practicing the skew to make a Xmas tree ( I copied I think your idea) stuffed the tenon up for parting it off and ending up with my own attempt to launch the mars rover...

I'm updating my safety specs to prescription polycarbonate after that one. See more and tougher....
