You can sometimes find long pipe reducers that go from 8" pipe down to
4" pipe.

I have a cone mandrel and have no intention of selling it at this time.

You could build one by welding sections of heavy pipe into slight cones
and stack them.

Lots of welding and grinding.

You can buy smaller new ones.
