Wear Eye Protection
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenche s are removed from the tool before turning it on.
• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches inv ite accidents.
• DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools i n dam p or wet
locations, or ex pose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from the work area.
• MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, m aster switc hes, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the r ate f or which it was designed.
• USE THE RI GHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD . Make sure you extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension c or d, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your pr oduc t
will draw. An undersized c or d will c ause a drop in the line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. For runs up to 25 feet, use a 14 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 50
feet, use a 12 AWG or larger cord. Runs over 50 feet are no t recommend ed. If i n doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The small er the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck ties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recomm ended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when its practical. It’s safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to oper ate the tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper f ooting and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessori es, such as blades, bits cutters,

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of im pr oper ac cessories may cause a risk of injury.
• NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before furt her use of the tool , a guard or other part that is damaged
should be caref ully c hec k ed to det ermine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Chec k for ali gnm ent of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any ot her c onditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other par t t hat is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

Introduction
The TAK-13GH/BD Taper Attachment is designed to produce accurate tapers up to 10” long and 20 degree
included angle at any distance from the spindle nose.
The attachment is easy to set, is always ready for use, and has two sets of graduations – one in degrees of
taper, the other in inches per foot (10 degrees both sides of center line and 4” per feet).
The telescopic screw turns on two thrust bearings in the taper slide and does not interfere with regular use of
the cross slide.
To realize the highest precision from the TAK-13GH/BD taper attachment, great care must be taken to ensure
that it is correctly mounted.
Please read this manual carefully before mounting and operating the attachment.
Mounting instructions
Note: Numbers in parentheses refer to item
numbers in the parts breakdown.
1. Remove all contents from the shipping
container and clean all rust protected parts
with kerosene or parts cleaner. Dry and lightly
oil all components with light machine oil.
2. Remove existing crossfeed screw as follows:
a. Remove screw in center of handwheel.
b. Remove handwheel assembly, dial, key
and bearing (#20, 21, 22, 23, 33 and 35).
c. Remove bracket (#30) and bearing (#19).
d. The crossfeed screw can now be removed
by unscrewing the nut (#17).
The telescoping crossfeed screw is supplied with a
brass nut. This nut can be used or the existing nut
supplied with the machine can be used. If the
machine is new, use the existing nut in the
machine. If the machine has been used
extensively, remove the existing nut by removing
screw (#26).
Installing the taper attachment
1. If you are using the brass nut supplied with the
taper attachment, install it now. Note: Install
screw but do not tighten at this time
2. Remove dust shield (#104) on back side of
cross slide (two cross point screws).
3. Mount taper attachment assembly to back of
cros s sl id e using f our sock e t he a d sc re ws (#4).
Note: Do not securely tighten at this time.
4. Install new crossfeed screw and remaining
components per drawing enclosed with taper
attachment. (Reference section A-A.)
5. Align taper attachment (using a dial indicator)
so tha t it is parallel with the bed of the lathe.
6. Tighten all screws at this time. Check cross
slide screw for free movement.
7. The taper attachment is supplied with no index
mark on the taper sl ide. To adjust taper slide
to “zero”, proceed as follows:
a. Insert test bar (minimum dimensions of
3/4" diameter and 18” in length) into the
lathe chuck.
b. Indicate test bar end to end (or length of
attachment travel) and adjust taper bar
until “0” degree run-out is obtained.
c. Lock taper bar to prevent movement and
stake an index mark at “0” degrees. This
can be done with a small cold chisel or
punch.
8. To use the lathe to cut a taper, simply attach
locking block (#55) to the bed. Loosen the
taper bar and adjust to the desired angle. The
cross slide will now follow the taper bar angle.
9. To use the lathe without the taper attachment,
simply loosen and swing the locking block
(#55) away from the bed.
