Hi folks
I had the need for a spider for the rear of my PM1228 lathe. I used a 4" wood lathe chuck, bored out the thread to 1 5/16" ID, threaded the snout & threaded the lathe bore to accept this unit. I had to make an adapter to move the spider chuck out from the gear door.

Another stellar addition to your fine PM lathe there Bruce.

You'll have that puppy buffed out to perfection before you are done, no doubt about it!!!
