Cutting Tapers on the Lathe?
460746
I did my manufacturing technology in my university which requires us to produce an item from lathe and milling machine manually. \n\nSo based on my experience: If you wish to do taper, you need to check the tools availability which come together with the machine. Some are basic (need a lot of experience to use) while others are designed to meet a lot of requirement (it can specifies the angle of taper, depth of cut, shape of taper etc).\n\nMy advise: Check the tool first. Then learn how to use.

If you dip a round dowel (rod) into rubber latex and remove it, it will be coated with a layer of rubber that can be cured.  Then you can cut rubber bands on the dowel side-by-side to the desired width.  The thickness of the band can be varied by the thickness of the coating and the size by the diameter of the dowel.  Of course the process is now automated.

Cut tips off then soak in acetone it will take a while but it's cheaper than going to a salon

Remove the "but cap" and trim back the handle to expose the blank and cut it with a hack saw or fine tooth saw so as not to crack the blank. You can go to WWW.mudhole.com they sell fishing rod blanks and stuff to make and build rod

I would  use 3/4" marine plywood. I would also seal any edges that I cut.

Here are several answers - you didn't specify baseboard or ceiling trim. Each is cut differently. The easiest way to cut ceiling trim is to first rip cut (lengthwise) a 12 or 18 inch piece of 2x4. Place that in your miter box with the slope facing you and rising toward you. You'll need to clamp this for safety. Now place your trim here and make the cut. This way you won't need the fancy math to figure compound angles.\n\nTwo tips for base trim...if it's only slightly open, you can choose to use the round shaft of a screw driver to roll over the joint at a slight angle. This will deform the wood slightly and close the gap. Pre-apply glue, if you wish and tape together until the glue dries. Alternatively, if the joint is close but not 'good enough' use one or more playing cards as spacers. If the joint is open, place the cards away from the cut. If the joint is tight, place cards near the cut.

There are many tutorial sites out there I recommend you try some!  Perhaps this tutorial will help with working with lines.\n\nhttp://www.cglearn.com/tutorials/max3/03_lathe_martini.html

Make a stick which is one metre long. Go round the house and measure things with the stick. Anything that is shorter than the stick, put on the list.\n\nIf you only have an old feet & inch tape measure to make your stick, make your cut at 39 & 3 eighths inches. Buy a metric only tape on eBay. Throw away the old tape, or give it to a museum.
