I was thinkin bout the left end of the spindle also , but then would I have to move the magnet if I wanted to put a spyder on ? Don't know . As usual I have been over thinkin this for a while .?

I just finally got my lathe moved over to the new place on Saturday .I have crashed cars,trucks,motorcycles , rolled a water truck & I don't think I have ever had the pucker factor as high as when I turned down my dirt road with the lathe on a trailer? . Amazingly all the loose hardware I left on the bench is right where I left it . Now I have to get one of my roll-aways moved with all my machine tools . We finally got moisture on the ground , so I gots mud everywhere .

thanks

The ones I have seen have the sensor on the backend of the spindle
