Hello everyone!
This is my first post. I was looking to fix some broken tips the other day and I starting fooling around with a way to get a 5-degree taper. I didn't want to wait to get one so I put this contraption together. It took me about an hour and it works great! This is just the sanding end of my very cheap wood lathe.

I bought a cheap taper tool from Cabelas seems to work good.

I use the disc on my belt sander with a simple jig for a 5deg and 11deg taper set up. 5deg for points, 11deg for nocks, although I don't use plastic nocks much anymore. Self nocks for me.
