A friend told me today that he saw a new, American made taper attachment for sale at Boeing 
Surplus for $75, not a bad buy if you need one and are in the area. Cheers Bob

Bill, I haven't seen it, it's for a lathe, suspect a large one as my friend was thinking of it 
for his LeBlond 18", then desided he really didn;t need it. Cheers Bob

The lathe!

Seriously, it attaches to the bed and has a dovetail slide which can be
pivoted to any taper angle. The cross slide is released from it's thread
and fixed to a slider on the taper attachments dovetail slide so that as
you move the carriage left and right the crossslide automatically follows
(in/out) the taper angle.
