I know it's not what you're looking for specifically, but I got a 3/8" one of these from lee Valley. It worked really well for my tapered rod project. I'm not looking to sell mine, but I wanted to let ya know about these tapered tenon cutters.

I just chuck mine in a drill and run through an ordinary threading die one fractional size smaller than the rod. Push and pull to "wear" the threads off the rod and make it smooth. Repeat with next smaller size if necessary. Finish and taper with sandpaper.
