[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 718617, member: 2736"] Most of the smiths build/have a spindle spider that goes in the spindle opposite end of the chuck that centers the tail end (Or the muzzle)of the work to true it in the spindle. This is nessary to true the bore from one end to the other and it also prevents whip while turning the work. Mine is simply a collar that threads into the spindle and has 4 adjustment screws. You can use your range rods on both ends for alignment. Once both ends are perfectly aligned the barrel never comes out of the lathe until crowning (All threading, fitting, chambering and headspacing are done). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
