Our mechanical protractor is exactly doing this for you, making the entire process a piece of cake. Cutting a perfectly fitting Morse taper takes 5 min / piece. Actually, we are crazy offering this kind of tool.

Further accessories for your Protractor / Taper Cutter
	Steel Test Arbor Set Morse #0 Arbor and Morse #1 Arbor Reduced length (approx. 1"), steel $19.99	I
	Plastic Morse #0 Test Arbor If you machine your own Morse adapters an arbor for test fitting the pieces properly is essential. The piece is cut in transparent plastic using reamer. Thus, one can perfectly see if the Morse taper fits. One of these is included in the LASER protractor package. $9.99
	Steel Jacobs #1 Test Arbor (apparently common on older UK lathes) (standard length, approx. 0.6") $10.00
	Adjustable Tailstock Center (Morse #0 taper to dead center) Cutting taper in longer and/or larger diameter stock without a center is dangerous and basically impossible. This adjustable tailstock center compensates for the offset when cutting taper by rotating the headstock.
