A = Large end diameter of the taper
B = Small end diameter of the taper
L = Direct distance between A and B
Formula: A \ B \ L \ 2 then Invert Tangent = The degrees you set your tool post at.

What is meant by hand wheel in lathe?
The function of the hand wheels on a lathe are to move the various carriages and the quill of a lathe by hand to its required positions.Most lathes have four hand wheels.Carriage hand wheel - For moving the saddleCross slide had wheel - For transverse movement of the tool postCompound had wheel - For moving the compound slide that can be set to an angle for taper cuttingTail stock hand wheel - To move the quill forward and backward for centering or drillingHand wheels on a lathe are connected to a screw which accommodates a nut that is attached to the above-mentioned components thus enabling movement when turned by hand.
How do you make an inside taper on a lathe?
These are the basic steps used to machine an inside taper on a lathe:The required boring bar is inserted into the tool post and the work piece is bored to the smaller size of the taperThe tool post is set to the required degrees (the boring bar angled towards the work piece)Using the tool post slide (or compact slide) hand wheel, it is turned in a counter-clockwise direction to allow enough travel over the entire taper lengthNow the tool tip is moved towards the edge of the workpiece bore with the carriage and cross slide hand wheelsAt this point the tool post slide hand wheel is used and turned in a clockwise direction to start cutting the taper a few millimeters at a time until the taper is roughly 2mm undersizeMechanical blue is put onto the mating test piece then the test piece is inserted it into the taper to check if the degrees match. Where there is more rubbing, the tool post degrees are slightly adjusted by using a dial indicator and a note of the adjusted amount set is made.Another cut is made and the taper is re-tested using the same method. If it requires further adjustment, the process of adjusting the angle with the dial indicator is repeated and. The dial indicator is placed in the exact same spot as before.When the taper matches the test piece, the final cuts are done with a very smooth, continuous motion on the tool post slide hand wheel.The workpiece may be retested with test piece after every cut to ensure precision of the final piece.The above method is just a basic explanation of how the operation is achieved. Operating a lathe without proper training is not recommended and could lead to serious injury!

Formula for calculating taper?
This is the formula for calculating a taper: Large diameter of the taper minus the small Diameter of the taper divided by the length of of the taper will give you the taper per inch. You will also need to know the included angle of the taper if you ar cutting this taper. This formula would be Tangent of the included angle divide by 2.
How do you find taper angle?
The taper angle is the angle where a thread is tapered as it is created. The formula to find it is to subtract the small diameter from the large diameter and multiply by 28, then divide by the length of the taper.
