TAPER TURNING
The following information is based on a Bullard
vertical turret lathe. (See fig. 8-1.)
There are several ways to cut a taper on a
vertical turret lathe. You can cut a 45 taper with
either a main turret-held cutter or a side head-held
cutter if you engage the vertical and horizontal
feeds simultaneously. To cut a taper of less than
30 with a main turret-held tool, set the turret slide
for the correct degree of taper and use only the
vertical feed for the slide. If you did this operation
on an engine lathe, you would use the compound
rest and advance the cutter by manual feed. On a
vertical lathe, you would USC the vertical power
feed.

Formula:
A = 2B 90
Example:
B = 56
Therefore,
A = (2 56) 90
A = 112 90
Angle:
A = 22
A = 90 2B
Example:
B = 35
Therefore,
A = 90 (2 35)
A = 90 70

In-Line Boring
To set the horizontal boring machine for a line
boring operation, insert a boring bar into the spindle
and pass it through the work. The boring bar is
supported on the foot end by the backrest assembly.
Depending on the size of the bore, you can use either
standard or locally manufactured tooling. The head
