If you can find one, the dvd by Russ at Goldenwitch about roughing and tapering under power is probably the best video.

If you email Russ he will likely burn you a copy. He sent me one that didn't have a jacket on it and it's just fine.

I'm not sure what the original format was but Russ sent me a DVD copy within the last year or so. It didn't have an original jacket on it but I didn't care. I'm sure he can do it again...

Hi Guys, It's really good. I used it to figure out how to make taper mill.

Thanks, I do have the printed instructions, just was wondering if there was a video tutorial someone might have made up on it.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi I have been going through the archives and while you edited the post, someone else quoted it and I wondered if you still had access to and were willing to share a copy of those instructions?

Thank you,

Jeff Evans
