Someone was asking how much room this would save over using a 4 jaw chuck.

These plates are 1" thick and you attach them to your back plate, which you can also "thin" a little.

Ordered one but the little lady said its 4-6 weeks out

No, they are coming in at the end of this week at both our MO and PA plants.

Our system probably was not updated. I checked the shipping documents that our phone operators do not have access to (sorry - some internal quirks). They should be shipping them next week if Customs does not hold up the clearing. Thanks for the order.

Just tried ordering one and was told they are not in. Techs have no specs on them.
I was told to try again mid August.

Which backplate does one order with it if its going on a G4003G?


Thanks

Your lathe has a D1-5 backplate so thats what you'll need then fit the spider plate to it.

Is there any benefit to using this over the existing Grizzly spider with the d1-5 backplate as 1 peice

Re: Spider Plates for lathes now available

Cigarcop, so we can order any Grizzly D1-5 backplate and it will accept the BE1125 Spider plate?
We just wanted to be 100% sure before ordering. When the Tech couldn't give any info I was hesitant to order anything.

We'll wait till August when they said they'd be in and try again. No big deal.

Im glad I don't have to make one now

We recently got Grizzlys small gunsmithing (G4003G) lathe for doing certain operations through its headstock. With a spider plate like this it should be a handy little lathe. Actually planning on doing the muzzle work to two big ass Navy contour 50BMG barrels with it.

No advantage other than the fact that if you already have a backplate then this is a little cheaper and you can fit the Bald Eagle Spider plate to your back plate by drilling and tapping 4 holes in the backplate.

As far as stock is concerned. They were slightly delayed due to customs and the 4th, but are supposed to be in stock at Grizzly <span style="font-weight: bold">today, </span>at our PA and MO locations. The WA location will get them at the end on next week. Most of the pending orders should ship by tomorrow.

Thanks.
