Tips for turning big and small tapers

Turning tapers can be difficult in the home workshop. In this video I show my methods of setting up tooling for turning the smallest to large Morse tapers using only the chuck that came with my lathe and some home made tooling. I also show how you don't need a dial test indicator (DTI) to cut accurate tapers. I don't deal with taper turning attachments because this is more common in industry and not always suitable for a home lathe.
