[QUOTE="Stob, post: 1092619, member: 90707"] I agree with JE's comments, make it as short as possible to the spindle. I keep my cover on, but it has a depression down around the spindle, so it works. I made mine with the same ID as the lathe spindle. I use a 4 jaw chambering, and use 4 screws in the spider, and align them with each other. Tome it makes dialing in easier. The same can be applied if using a set-true, tey use 4 adjustment screws too. I made 4 copper tabs to protect the barrel from the screws. I simply cut a piece of 3/4" copper pipe, split it two ways, then bent a tab to hold them. I slip them in the spider between barrel and screws. It's easier for me since turning the barrel around the barrel diameter is different to use a sleeve. But whatever works for you. [/QUOTE]
