I've done it in soft chuck jaws. And it worked great. You hold a plug in
jaws then bore the taper in the front with the larger part of taper in back
of jaws . You don't need much to hold it as it cann't pull out of jaws. Bore
taper about 1/2 inch deep with the compound and face back end as stop.. And
if you need to turn part around you can bore taper in another set of jaws
with small end in jaws, then use a soft ball or washer with a 1/2 hole thru
it and drop ball or washer into id of tapered part and use a 1/2 inch
threaded rod with a nut on end of it against ball then on other end thru to
back of spindle use a washer and nut to keep part from pulling out of jaws.
