Hello, have posted on the other parts of the site but 1st time here. I last used a lathe 30 yrs ago and thought I could just start where I left off! Obviously that was the 1st mistake, I had designed a 3ft long leg with taper from more or less top to bottom starting about 40mm to about 15mm at the bottom. It was really difficult so gave up and make a jig for a guide to follow and it came out really nice. I'd like to know how you guys make a consistent long taper and make identical copy's , is it just experience or technique.
Hope this is not too basic a question
