Absolutely possible Tim, the shorter your machine the easier it is. If
you can't get the 8º then the universal joint will work great. If you
use a side cut, you will achieve a tapered cove and that will be about
it. If you are set for the 8º the look will be just like what you drew.

Hi Mike,
I'm revisiting this old topic and ask if what I'm thinking of doing is
even possible. Take a look at the attached drawing. It's a tapered
barley twist made with the magnate 7554 Barley twist bit and 1.5" of
pitch. I need to over come the gears locking up with the full 4
degrees of tilt, but after that, does the piece have a chance of
looking like my drawing?
I was thinking of using your universal joint trick to get more angle.
Otherwise I think my only other alternative is routing from the side
with a straight cutting bit a template and some handwork. Do you
think this can be done on the legacy?
