A method I like to use when turning a rough piece of stock is that I clamp down onto a bolt shank in the chuck with the bolt head behind the back of the jaws and the threads towards the tailstock, then I drill a hole in my material that's a close fit to the bolt shank and mount it onto the bolt and secure it with a nut, pulling the work piece tight up against the faces of the jaws. Then I can turn the piece round over the full length without having to stop and reverse the part like you would do when holding it in the jaws.

Nice work. Very professional.

Bore some holes in the plate and make sets of spacers and you can then adjust the spacing of the spider relative to the chuck face.

Depending on the type of work you do, you may want to drill a central hole in the spider. If you do, include a flange so that you can fit bushings to tailor the hole to the size needed for a particular job.

Parabéns Celso Ari, uma ferramenta de simples construção porém de grande utilidade!

Congratulations Celso Ari, a tool of simple construction but very useful!
