[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2361542, member: 17722"] On that 1024? I just bolted the Grizzly.com spider to the faceplate. The nuts used on the back of the faceplate are the unistruts 3/8 that are rectangular enough to straddle the ribs. The jacking screws are still 3/8x24, but instead of using the brass tips one I am using pads with ball bearings on them and the screws were cut with the ball end mill. The ball bearing system allows the barrel to pivot when dialing both ends. Yes, there is an outboard cathead. [ATTACH type="full"]318261[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]318262[/ATTACH] Beauty of the threaded nose attachment to it is fairly rigid and possibilities are plenty. I have used this along with a outboard spider to chamber one of my sporter barrels. [ATTACH type="full"]318263[/ATTACH] Though I have the two other lathes for chambering I used this 1024 when I rebarreled my M1A hunting rifle from an Obermeyer blank. As far as the spider I have since replaced the Grizzly.com plate with a solid steel one, but still bolted to the same faceplate. The short headstock allowed me to chuck up the whole barreled M1A receiver and time the thread for the Surefire suppressor adapter.
