Regards the spider, if you're interested, they're real easy to make. Using
a fairly large nut (1" or so) , drill and tap at 120 degree intervals for a
socket head cap screw. Mine are 5/16-18, for use in an 8" three jaw.
Locate the three tapped holes near the edge of the nut, so you can get the
spider as far back in the jaws as is possible for machining the jaws. You
can even locate on the master jaw, allowing for through boring.

Aha! *That* is a nice idea. Thanks!

Enjoy,
DoN.
