Making Spide
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIn gunsmithing you will run a spider on both sides of the
headstock to avoid that issue, there being essentially point
contact on both ends.?? You will generally center it using pin
gauges.?? Alternatively you can set one end of the barrel in a
chuck and the other end supported in a center rest ( steady rest)
and once again, center it using pin gauges.? In this case, unless
the chuck or the barrel are way out of wack, the degree of
deflection is small over the length of the barrel, so no
problems.? Unless you are working with an un-tapered barrel blank
usually you are a long ways from having full jaw contact anyway
with a shim and taper to be contended with.? None of these setups
are designed for hogging out lots of material.? Charles On 2/4/2019 2:08 PM, Robert Downs via

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf the OD was perfectly coventry to the bore , this would work.? However that is never the case. Barrel work should be set up off the bore.Thats an interesting idea? though. -Jody -------- Original message --------
