Hi all,
For some time I wanted to make some attachments to fit on the back end of the lathe spindle. As there are various and there are no threads left on the end of my spindle, a different idea was needed.

After looking at what others have done I came up with the idea to make a permanently installed extension/spider and some accessories to fit onto it.

I was concentrating on the making of the parts so much I forgot to take build photos, so these are of the finished parts.
The extension.


The indexer hub with a gear fitted.

The indexer detent assembly.





The hand crank.




And all together.

I have used the indexer, spider and hand crank a few times and can not think how I worked without them in the past.
Cheers.
Abraham
