The Model SB1269 taper attachment was designed to fit onto a series of South Bend lathes. Shown in Figure 1, is a Model SB1012 lathe that is fitted with the Model SB1269 taper attachment.

on rear side of lathe
Figure 1. Model SB1269 installed.
This taper attachment mounts quickly to the back bed way of your lathe. Accurate tapers of up to 12" can be produced without repositioning the attachment or having to offset the talstock.
The Model SB1269 features scales at both ends, reading inches-per-foot and degrees. An angle adjusting knob with fine threads achieves exacting control when setting tapers.

Another feature is the ability to use the taper attachment without disengaging the cross slide nut. This design allows the taper attachment to be functional at any time by simply tightening the two deadman-clamp cap screws, which lock the deadman-clamp to the rear lathe way.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a heavy­duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative has been a close ally and guardian since this item left the factory. If the unpainted surfaces are free of rust, then be thankful that the rust preventative did its job...and try to stay thankful as you clean it off, because it can be challenging to remove if you are unprepared and impatient.
Plan on spending time cleaning and removing the rust preventative. The time you spend doing this will reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better appreciation for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.
Although there are many ways to successfully remove the rust preventative, these instructions walk you through what works well for us.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• DisposableRags
• Cleaner/degreaser
• Safetyglasses&disposablegloves
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits
orWD•40canbeusedtoremoverust
preventative. Before using these products, though, test them on an unnoticeable area of a painted area to make sure they will not damage it.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
2. Coatallsurfacesthathaverustpreventative
with a liberal amount of your cleaner or degreaser and let them soak for few minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use
aPLASTICpaintscrapertoscrapeoffthe
majority of the coating before wiping it off
withyourrag.(Donotuseametalscraperor
it may cause scratches.)
4. RepeatSteps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
GAS
Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used for cleaning. Avoid using these products to remove rest preventative.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

10. Apply a dab of multi-purpose grease to the copper plug to prevent it from falling out when handling the slide block.
Note: This copper plug prevents the set screw
from scoring the main pivot pin when the taper attachment is being used.
12. Clean the bearings and races with mineral spirits, then dry and repack them with white lithium grease.
13. Install the bearings and races onto the leadscrew in the order shown in Figure 10.

17. Make sure the copper plug is still inside of
the slide block.
18. With the help of an assistant, raise the taper attachment underneath the slide block, so the pivot pin slides into the pin bore in the slide block (see Figure 12).
19. With your assistant aligning the taper attachment mounting holes, use an 8mm hex wrench to tighten the four mounting cap screws and secure the taper attachment to the carriage face (see Figure 12).

26. Re-tighten both dovetail lock cap screws.
27. Slide the deadman clamp along the lathe
way to a position where the saddle will not contact the clamp when cutting tapers. There should be approximately 1" of safety clearance or "saddle safety gap," as shown in Figure 18. You must double check this clearance to prevent a deadman clamp carriage crash.

29. Rotate, push in, or pull out the adjustment cam to adjust the deadman arm so it is as parallel as possible with the lathe bed in both the vertical and horizontal plane.
Note: You may have to rotate the deadman arm
so the arm clevis allows the arm to be tilted in a particular direction.
— To tilt the arm in the vertical plane, rotate the knurled adjustment cam.
— To tilt the arm in the horizontal plane, slide
the adjustment cam in or out of the deadman housings.

Figure 16) when finished.
31. Using 8mm and 6mm hex wrenches, tighten
the deadman clamp and the arm clamp cap screws, as shown in Figure 18.
32. Move the carriage so the taper attachment stops completely at the forward-most position, as shown Figure 20.
35. Loosen the four mounting cap screws and rotate the taper attachment left or right to correct the alignment (see Figure 21).

36. Retighten the taper attachment cap screws, and double check your parallelism.
Figure 20. Taper attachment alignment.
33. Setup a knob indicator as shown in Figure 20, so the knob indicator point is against the
top of the dovetailed table.
34. Move the carriage to the other end of the way, read the knob indicator, and note the amount of total misalignment in parallelism between the path of the carriage and the path of the taper attachment.
— If the knob indicator readings show a tilt
of 0.025" or less between the two extreme positions of the taper attachment, then the alignmentisacceptable.GotogotoStep 37.
— If the parallelism is greater than 0.025",
proceed to Step 35.
37. Using the existing pilot holes in the taper attachment housing as guides (see Figure
19
22), drill out both holes with a
64" drill bit, and ream both holes with an industrial size #6 spiral pin reamer deep enough so the tapered pins fit flush. If you need to remove the tapered pins for any reason, the internal pin threads are a metric M6-1.

OPERATION
For Product Mfg. Since 1/10
Operation
When the deadman clamp cap screws are loose, the deadman clamp slides along the lathe way, and the taper attachment is disengaged. Normal lathe turning operations can be conducted.
When the deadman clamp cap screws are tightened, the deadman clamp is locked to the lathe way, and the taper attachment is engaged. At this point tapered turning operations can be made.
To use the taper attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Move the carriage, cross slide, and
compound rest so your turning bit is at your needed location to begin the tapered cut.
3. Using an 8mm hex wrench, tighten both deadman cap screws so the deadman clamps against the lathe bedway, as shown in
Figure 23.
4. Using a 6mm hex wrench, loosen the dovetail
lock cap screw at each end of the taper attachment, as shown in Figure 24.

Monthly:
• Lubricate pivot pin and slide block ways.
To lubricate the taper attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Using an oil can with the same oil you use on
your lathe ball oilers, apply liberal amounts of oil to the four ball oilers, the pivot pin, and the dovetail surface shown in Figures 2830.

To clean the taper attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Vacuum excess metal chips and wipe off the
remaining metal, coolant, and oils with a dry cloth.
If any coolant sludge has built up, use
mineral spirits to remove, and then relubricate with the same oil you use on your lathe to prevent surface rust.
