I'm considering buying the chefwarekits EZ Sphere jig. I have a Grizzly G0766, which ideally requires an 8 3/4" post. The jig comes with an 8" post. I asked CWK if I could get a longer post. Their response was that the 8" would work. My question is, won't I have reduced diameter capacity with the 8" post on my lathe? I believe the jig does up to a 10" ball. Won't my limit be more like 9" or even a little less? Or will it be just fine since I"m only 5" above center on a 10" ball?
For those that have this jig, how much extra post do you have at maximum cutting diameter? And anyone using it on a G0766 (new banjo style)?
