A search engine would have been easier.

About 542,000 results (0.39 seconds)

Try one, don't be helpless.

Setting up precision angles on manual lathes?

If a simple google search is to complicated for them to do, how can they expect to set up the complicated operation of a lathe?

I thought that one turned the thingy until the doohickey said the angle was right.

Silly me.

Does the lathe have a taper attachment, or are you using the compound slide to do this?

The posts provided so far are all compound slide method.

If that's what you asking about, then you have your answer.

If you are doing tailstock offset, you may need to account for sine versus tangent of the angle in question.
