it's a boring head... that can cut tapers? I didn't know these existed

quick look online on PM and elsewhere suggests that they're rare and incredibly complicated, which seems believable

looks like it's got the S20x2 buttress thread on a morse taper 4 shank, with what looks like a ISO40 to MK4 adapter in the box, so good for about any deckel mill and not so good for anything else

My Narex can do tapers. Note I said my Narex can, not me.

That is cool. Didn't know taper was even a thing. I knw they had auto feed outward perpendicular to the axis, but this would involve orchestrated movement in 2 axis.
 
Ya OK, I'll rub it in a bit. I got mine as a package including a large box of quality drills, a box of quality taps, a 10ths dial test indicator, a Bison 3 jaw chuck on an arbor, some brass and a box load of other cool stuff for 900. :D

Nobody wants to see what I got for 500 once or a 200 dollar deal I got either. That sounds like you really suck.

I didn't know any equipment existed that would bore a taper on a mill either. Lathe - easy peasy. Mill - can't imagine how. Very very cool.
 
Think you have to utilize your mills power feed at the same time as the facing head feed.
AND the feeds have to coincide with the taper rate you need, or can live with! Read the manual! :) That stuff is listed there!

This isn't new stuff, but a little outside the experiences of most guys that are Hobby Machinists. More common uses of the power cross feed, is to do counterbores and backfaces on through holes without moving the table at all.
