I’d like to share my take on producing a spiral by using a revolve body and a cone.  
Notes:  
The number of revolution of the revolve body dictates the MAX number of revolutions in the final spiral.  
The height of the cone will dictate the FINAL revolution count in the spiral.  
Similarly, the base of the revolve body dictates the MAX outside diameter.  
The base of the cone dictates the FINAL outside diameter of the spiral

Here are the steps:
