[QUOTE="J-G, post: 1576643, member: 18744"] They are good at carrying 'Odd ball' cutters but I doubt even they'll have such a beast. If you decide to make one from a 12" length of 1" Ø Steel - or 300mm of 26mm Ø - then you would need to be able to have 200mm+ travel on your top-slide set at 1.718° but also 75mm travel in the oposite direction set at 1.432096° (this later to cut an MT2 shank). If you [B][I]can[/I][/B] manage 200mm travel, then I would suggest that you buy a Morse Taper #2 'Blank' which you could find a way to fix to a 200+ mm long bar on which you had cut the 1.718° taper. The chance that you would cut an MT2 taper that would really fit is slim. Should you decide to take the 'stepped' route then you need to increase the diameter by 1mm every 16.66667mm of length.
