Its actually an 8X14 and is the same model that Lathemaster sells without some of the goodies like the back splash or the faceplate. FYI the lathemaster change gears other parts are the same ones so if you break one (not gonna happen) or you want one that didnt come with your lathe you can order them from him.…Read more

This also works if you want a down and dirty way to reduce spring strength. Chuck spring in chuck and squeeze sandpaper around spring length as you spin it slowly. If your careful this works well.

They arent big but they might go to 3″ on the outside of the jaws, inside the pipe.

Your not going to do much machining in a set up like that though. Lots of vibration and not much in the way of speed choices.
