Thanks. So the total spindle length from the place where a faceplate
would snug up to to the end of the threads is 1.454 + .286? I hadn't
thought about the setscrew stuff.

There is also a recess cut to below the threads (for faceplate setscrews) from the left of
the dimension 2 marks to the right end of the threads that is 0.286".

All:

I need some measurements from various lathes -- if you could report:

Make and model of your lathe

Spindle size and thread pitch (i.e. 1 1/4 x 8)

Dimensions 1 and 2 from the photo --

it would be most helpful. The photo is of a much used Stubby so I have
that information.

Thanks in advance to those responding.
