The Model SB1263 features an inches scale and
a degree scale. An angle adjusting knob with fine
threads achieves precise control when setting
tapers.
Another feature is the ability to use the taper
attachment without disengaging the cross slide
nut. This design allows the taper attachment to
be functional at any time by simply tightening
the two deadman clamp cap screws, which lock
the deadman clamp to the rear lathe way.
