Default Starting on a NEW conveyor
Guys,

I'm starting on a new bigger conveyor. Question, I'm planning on turning the end drums on the lathe but HOW do I get a nice convex taper on them? I do not have power feeds so I can't imagine turning it slow enough and manually moving the cross feed and lateral feeds smooth and consistent enough to get a descent drum?

Impossible to do without power feeds?

Thanks

Jim
