How to model this part?
(OP)
I need to model this part :

I'm trying to use Revolve and and Extrude :

The question is How to trim unnecessary pieces? or maybe I should use another methods to model this part?

RE: How to model this part?
it's an NX5 part. Hope you can open it.
I revolved the bottom half with "stock" on top...
I chopped the swoop with an extrude(thats what the stock is for)...
finally, I revolved the top taper and united it.
Thats my guess!

I think Jay's solution to boolean three elements is otherwise the correct approach. It also appears from the image that the two tapered ends may in fact not be co-axial (slightly off centre). It wouldn't change the construction.
