    Default Lathe spyder

    I am making a lathe spyder for the lathe and wanted to use fine threaded long grub screws for the outboard adjusters. But pricing was a killer as you needed to buy a box of 100 or pay a heavy penalty which I wasn't going to do, so conciled myself to using mf bolts. But then the light went on and I ended up doing this...pics tell the story

    That should work really well? It's a brilliant idea, really thinking outside the box. Thanks for the pics too.

    Hi Eskimo,

    Nice work ! Brass or copper tips help to prevent scoring the workpiece.

    Yes, thanks for the pics.
