![]() 910 forum posts 303 photos | Does anyone know if the different length spindles on Clarkson grinders is a complete different spindle or an add on piece? I'm thinking of using the spindle head on my Union grinder as Clarksons are often sold as parts, but need to know which spindle type to look for if they're two different types. |
