@@theessexhunter1305 thanks, I hope some of it is interesting or useful. I wish I could make the videos a little nicer, but it will have to do for now.
I think it doesn’t technically count as a cats head since I think a cats head is for non-circular parts. Bravo for know cats head. Not common knowledge even in the machining world.
@@engineerwrecker8153 I have always known 'Cathead' and 'Spider' as the same thing......either way the device can be used to provide a support collar for round or out of round workpieces.
Thanks for the answer video.
Great info here. 👍
Just added a sub as this channel looks v good.

Toolmakers make tools, that is what we do..
Fascinating setup! What in the world would you be machining that would require turning a 17-foot-long chunk of metal?!
@@mxm650 lots of things, but in my world mostly marine propeller shafts. I have made a bit of an answer video also. Thanks for commenting.
@@OgiveBC Yes, marine prop shafts are usually the longest common components I've ever had to mount in the lathe
