South Bend used taper pins on my lathe, some of which didn't survive the
students' abuse. I acquired some spare parts which had been drilled
differently for the taper pins. It seemed to me the idea was to ream by
hand, tap in the pin and then cut off the excess.
I still have a batch of brass taper pins made for the class
machines. Brass shears off and protects the machine - at leas that is
the theory

The thing is there really isn't any point to having stock size taper
pins available more than minimally longer than you can ream. I was
excited to see a couple pins available that might fit my application
only to find I would have to create my own tool to ream the holes. I
can make my own tools, but it takes a lot of time.
I know that feeling. Is what it would cost more or less than what
I would spend making one? And how soon do I need 'it'?
