Did your lathe come with a faceplate? Chances are you'll never use it in this business.

I chopped most of it away, leaving a hub at the center, then drilled four holes for 1/2-20 cap screws.

Hey presto, I now have a spider.

I checked with Grizzly a few months ago...there had been rumor they were going to sell one pre-built. No such luck.. It was suggested that I make one.

I looked for a pre-made D1-4 spider for a couple of more weeks, finally gave up on finding one and built one instead.

Good Luck

I know it's a slim chance.

These should be available in about 4 weeks and you can attach it to a back plate that already has the D1-4 studs:

Shiraz,

If you have a minute, could you give me a call? I have a question for the F Class Grand Wizard.

Thanks.

Re: D1-4 Spider Chuck

I just made my own. I got a D1-4 backing plate from Lost Creek Machine and turned it down to the spindle OD. Drilled and tapped for 3/8 x 24TPI at 90 degree intervals on the circumference.
3/4" thickness made it plenty stout and by not going with a backplate/spider arrangement I gained about an inch of pass through length.
One of the setscrew holes intersects the pin hole but that was easily worked through.
Works like a champ and I think I have $50.00 in it and an hour or two of time.
Well worth it.

I have a D1-4 mount double spider for truing receivers that also works good on shorties...
