You are absolutely right, Rich. By the time you got down to the minor
diameter with the tool making a continuous cut, the shaft would be straight.
You have a keen eye and inquisitive mind. My apologies for wasting your and
the lists time. I'm not going to post nuttin to the list at 2:06 am again!

I'm not to sure about this. Your putting a center in the tailstock end of
the bar that is offset, but the tailstock is still centered, and you expect
a tapered bar will result? If you remove enough to clean up the piece, won't
you end up with a bar that is straight and has a new center? RF

You can establish the OFFSET-center a number of ways depending on the
precision you want for your taper. (1) you can simply eye-ball it and
drill it out in the drill press. (snip. . . )
