Taper or Degrees

12/05/2006 5:20 PM

Hello

I'm a first year Mechanical Industrial Engineering Technician. I was wondering how i would convert a 60 degree angle into taper per foot??? I am working on a lathe, so obviously the angle must be divided in half, but after that i am defianately confused.
