The taper attachment ended up being a halfway flop. It works kinda sorta ok if you want to cut a random angle, but for anything precise it chatters too much. I made the follower too small, so it had to be super tight tolerance to not cock and get wedged on the tube. As a result there's too much friction and you actually have to help it along by hand. Doh. Just another on my long list of "how hard could it be" failures.
Definitely not planning to sell this one! I learned a lot with Hackjob, the '76F and the '80F. I've ridden several different types of bikes over the past few years and I have a better understanding of what I want out of a bike. I can't turn out pro level parts, but I'm putting my best effort in to this one since, as the title says, this one is a Keeper Build.
