Spindle Spider

This lathe is equipped with a set of outboard
spindle supports otherwise known as a "spider"
(see Figure 62).

Remove spider screws when not in use.
Always DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER
when installing, removing, or adjusting spi-
der screws. Ignoring this warning can lead
to personal injury or machine damage.
The spider is especially designed for supporting
gun barrels during chambering operations; how-
ever, it is a great support option for almost any
long workpiece that extends through the outboard
side of the spindle.
The tips of the spider screws have brass wear
pads that hold the workpiece without causing
indents in the finish.
When spider screws are installed, always use the
jam nuts to lock each spider screw in position.
Merely tightening the spider screws against the
workpiece and leaving the jam nuts loose is not
safe. Spiders screws that loosen during operation
can crash into the lathe end cover.
