I made a pen today that had slight tapers on the barrels. Anyone with a metal lathe will know that doing small tapers is a pain because your hand keeps knocking against the tailstock, which interupts the cut when using the topslide.
This little gadget is just an old handle from a broken drill press with a swivel rod end attached. Works like a charm and I cant believe I never made one before now:biggrin:
