    Another source for large grippers is beer-making suppliers; usually white (so no staining), hollow rubber "corks."

    Cheers,

    Default My version of the Longworth.

    Cookie48 asked for some photos of the aux wheel.

    I have 2 toolposts and have only shown 1 for clarity. This chuck is 22inches/560mm in dia and this platter is already finished, but put in for the photo.
    Attachment 201988
    The main photo shows the tapered rubber grips that I got from Clark Rubber and this photo shows Vicmark poly grippers and some extensions I made up to cater for a very flared rim.
    Ern said the grips should be enough, but this takes away the worry of letting 2 weeks work fly off the chuck.
    regards,
    Crocy

    Here a pic of the only mod I made to my modern longsworth. The extremities are very visible even at top speed (600rpm).

    It's only a little dinky one 20" or 500mm that fits inboard.

    Here is my version on a jam chuck.

    Thanks for the idea, Joe.
