Billy, there are a few ways to taper them, myself I use a drill press, and either a coarse sharpening stone or a fine file, a cordless drill would work good too.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned but possibly should be considered is the squareness of the end of the shaft.. If not perfectly square, it can cause a stress riser and promote early failure of the shaft.. Footing still is cheap insurance.
