Making a spider for my 14x40 seems on the surface of it to be an almost trivial task, but... How do you attach it to the spindle? I don't want to make a spider that reduces the working bore diameter of the lathe. My first thought is a slip or near slip fit on the outside with brass tipped grub screws to secure it in place. Brass tipped so if I want to do something else in the future I don't have to deal with the burrs raised by regular steel screws.
Of course if I take that approach I have to cut out the cover to clear it.
