Auto feed copier taper bar combo

Instead of copying as a sole job for this machine could it be set up to use different taper bars in place of the cue. I would be leary of trying to copy a shaft and it flex in the middle of copying.

Hi,

You could do the shaft copying if you set op a secure steady rest in the center of the shaft to stop the deflection.

Thanks guys for all the inputs and suggestions, sorry I haven't posted the video yet, I have been swamped with building repair lathes for a few customers, I just want to say that the concern with coping a shaft and working around the deflection has been addressed and it works great, I will try to get new pictures and video uploaded ASAP
Note: I have the video of the auto feed working, I was having hard time uploading it to you-tube last week, it should be up in the next couple of days, maybe a week for the taper bar coppier.
PS: check out my new U-channel Extrution in my new thread
