[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 819598, member: 13632"] I used to use a lathe that was long through the spindle and was L-1, I made a front spider that took several inches of and then taped holes through the outboard side of the spindle as close as I could, this let me just do a 26 inch barrel through the head stock. My new lathe is way shorter and cam lock which was so nice to go to!! I hold my reamer in a GTR reamer holder then put that in a #3 MT tool holder and use my carriage, I align the dead center of the reamer holder to the barrel center after it's dialed in then load the reamer up and rock on, the idea of holding the reamer by hand makes my skin crawl after seeing pictures of what is left of a guy when wrapped up in a lathe, not how I want to go out!!!
