When I was serving an apprenticeship under a master machinist at South Georgia Trade and Vocational school in the late 50's, his favorite way of doing it was to apply a clean,light oil, wipe it all back off and then drive the taper home usually wwith a block of hardwood between the object and the hammer. It worked well on the large lathe tail stock drill bits, chuck and nandrels and etc. Have used his method for many years with good sucess, particularly on tapered flywheels and crankshaft ends. The key to sucess is to be sure the inside and outside of the taper are clean, grit free and correctly matched and tap it firmly into place to seat the taper.DO NOT pound with a killer sledge hammer. Do it smoothly with a dead blow type or soft face hammer after you get it lined up and installed as far as it will go by hand first. Gene Davis
