Lathe Exercises for Engineering Students

A taper pin has a length of 90mm with a tapered section of 50mm between a larger diameter of 95mm and smaller diameter of 85mm. The taper is calculated to be 10mm/m or 0.5729 degrees. The compound rest should be set to 0.5729 degrees to machine the taper. The tailstock setting over is calculated based on the taper dimensions.
