"Machined from castings". Cast iron can be hard, maybe it should be tested with a file before getting in too deep. If it turns out to be good machinable cast iron, I'd like to also suggest using an existing collet with some length-wise chalk marks to get that taper just right. Lacking sine-bars and grinders and stuff, it's just a thought. Old school.

And yes, what's there pretty rough. I don't even see a taper.
