I use a lot of tapered cartridge rolls, but I was unhappy with the amount of use I got out of one before they wore down to the end of the mandrel - which can ruin your work pretty quick.
So, I took a spare mandrel (they're cheap) and cut it down. A pair of dykes cut it easily, then I ground the jagged end smooth.
Now I throw my used rolls in a separate box and when my supply runs low, I switch to the short mandrel and keep going. I get at least twice the use out of a roll that way.
