Necessity is the mother of invention.

Adding a taper to your jaws

Andrew cuts the taper in the jaws

You can eliminate the need to add a taper to the jaws

Let's find out just how much taper should be added to the jaw bore

With the taper cut and the work piece clamped at full pressure

After the taper is cut and the correct force is applied to the work piece

To compensate for this deflection, cutting a slight taper in the jaws may become necessary

It will taper each wall four thousandths of an inch (0.004 , 0.102 mm)

The inverse of this, is one thousandth of an inch (0.001 , 0.025mm) too little taper

This will taper the face so the bore is larger diameter at the bottom than at the top

You should cut the taper to leave more material at the jaw tip than at the jaw base

Now, let's look at what too much, and too little taper look like using our setup

In either case, another pass can be made to either remove or add a slight amount of taper

One thousandth of an inch (0.001 , 0.025 mm) too much taper results in a concentration of bluing at the base of the work piece

We also cover re cutting your jaws as well as how and when to add a taper to jaws to achieve a perfect fit

The unconsciousness is a tool of our brain, a very powerful one.

In this case my tool is a ½ endmill, tool 23

Tool 31 is my first back up tool

The final change to the tool offset display is the addition of the Pocket Tool table here in the Tool Offset box

Now Andrew uses a slow drying bluing compound to check if he needs to make another slight taper cut

Remove any tool that's in the spindle using TOOL RELEASE

I will chose vertical and auto tool changer and umbrella tool changer

Inputting and checking tool offsets and checking for excessive tool wear

Geneticists have developed a similar tool called genetic barcoding.
