I have a desire to bore an internal taper on my handle wood using my taper bar. What I have in mind is to taper the handle section of my full cores and slide the handle wood over the core from the joint end and glue it with titebond 2. .775 at the small end and .795 or so at the big end over 13 inches. Just enough taper to allow the pieces to slide together and the glue to squeeze out with very minimal glue clearance when joined.
So my question is if anyone knows from experience if a 5/8 rod with the aluminum cutting inserts would be ridged enough to accomplish this task. Or would it chatter to death? The longest boring bar I can find 5/8 is 8 inches. Of course they have boring metal in mind not wood. So I would have to build one.
I know a reamer will work but I don't really want to shell out the dough for one.
Thoughts? Other than what is wrong with me? It's something I've been thinking about for a while and really want to try.
Thanks
