And since last winter when I came up with this, since then I have
powered its rotation with about .005 in time with the ram stroke.
That is how I can do round tapers more like as the world turns, (work)
the ram is cutting the taper. May be crazy, but with a lathe, one must
stay with it UNLESS you have a taper att. which I do not. So Its kind
of like a power hack saw - turn on switch walk a way just comming
back time to time to add a little down feed.
