Spider and "Short" Chuck...

[spencer313]

I am posting this for user Arob who inquired about the short chuck I made for my TL-1. I believe that when all the dust settles, there is 22 inches between supports. The brown spots on the chuck plate are from LPS-3, not corrosion.

I hope this answers your questions, and perhaps helps others. No, I don't have much experience to report with this, yet, but will post pictures when I do.

if you make a tool that barely fits inside the outboard catseye, and has a replaceable caliber
specific nipple, you can do even shorter bbls.
a 6" tool drops your 22" TO 16"

I am unfamiliar with the term "catseye", can you elaborate?

Do you mean the other name for a spider, cathead? I always thought a large biscuit we in the South slather with gravy was a cathead.

Catheads are great especially if you leave the fur on so the gravy sticks to them. Also the tails are deep fried 9 to an order hence the term cat-of-9-tails. Tim
