Value Collection 1550EVS Taper Attachment

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1550EVS is a taper attachment designed for use with compatible engine lathes in production and maintenance machine shop environments. Taper attachments allow a lathe operator to cut precise tapered profiles on a workpiece without offsetting the tailstock, preserving accurate center alignment throughout the operation. This unit ships as part of a comprehensive lathe accessory package weighing 72 pounds, making it suited for shops that need a ready-to-use complement of turning accessories. Licensed machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary installers and operators of this type of equipment.

This taper attachment is part of a lathe accessory bundle that includes a broad set of standard turning accessories. The full package includes two dead centers, a 10-inch 3-jaw universal chuck, a 10-inch steady rest with roller jaws, a 4-way tool post, a coolant system, dual dials calibrated in both inch and metric, a follow rest with roller jaws, a full-length rear splash guard, a gap bed, a halogen work lamp, leveling blocks and screws, and a micrometer carriage stop. This configuration suits job shops and training environments that require a fully outfitted lathe setup.

Consult the lathe manufacturer's documentation for proper attachment torque sequences and alignment procedures. All leveling and alignment work should be completed before running the machine under load.
