is there a way to turn longer items -48"- on the lathe, some sort of open end center?

This lathe is too small for that. i'm not sure if they make an open center, it would be best to contact grizzly for help they are very consumer friendly.

There aren't any. The reason for this is because each table saw is different so providing instructions would be a generalization at best, unsafe at worst. Use is pretty simple - you take off your arbor bolt and remove the current saw blade. You put the dado set's blade on first taking note of the direction the saw turns. Then you add as many of the variable width chippers to create the width you want. Then add in the other dado blade on the arbor bolt, bolt it all in place and away you go. Please take note that many table saws have arbor bolt length restrictions so you may not get the full width you want. I cannot do 3/4" dado's on my table saw despite having this kit for example. Finally - please ensure you have a table saw insert specifically for dados. The alternative is to remove your insert which is unsafe. Most manufacturers sell aftermarket table inserts for a reasonable price...mine cost me $18 or so. Good luck!

I would go to hardware store and get a couple stainless steal couplers, and some all thread of the appropriate dimensions. Make an extension the exact length you want/need?

You can cut it to any width you want. If you're going too much smaller, you might look at buying individual pieces to save some cost. I was very happy with how adaptable the system was.

I have a 61 inch opening with two extensions. I don't know about the 48" opening. It should be a pretty standard opening. Call the company and tell them what you need.

tip to end 4- 9/16's inches and just under 1- 1/4 inches at the thickest part

Mine is about 52" and it could still be shortened. It looks like 48" would be about the minimum. You could probably cut it with a pipe cutter if you need it any smaller.

No, but I guess you could adapt it to do that with a welder maybe. Or maybe you could get a longer shaft from the manufacturer

Just pull straight off the end. There are different ones available but most of the styles will fit.

I don't think it's possible to switch the drawer location-- at least not easily. All of the holes are pre-drilled for the location as is. I'm sure a carpenter could figure out how to do it, but it's not a versatile design.

Extend the handle to the length that you need, and twist to the right. Then twist to the left to shorten and to the right to hold that position.

We did exactly that. We used a dremel and cut them down to the size we needed. Make sure you only cut the bottom of the inside and top of the outside leg when doing the adjustment. Works fantastic!

Sorry, it's only 48 inches. Too bad. It's a quality piece of work. Looks great where I have it. Good luck.

You can add pipe to the depth you need. I would not want to extend the handles.

don't see how, it's a few millimeters past the end of the connectors. You can always cut it (with flush trim cutters) and then pull it back a few millimeters. I think you'd still get the twist maintained way closer to the pins (on the back end) than doing it conventionally

The lathe uses an Morse Taper (MT)-2 and from what I understand that size is pretty common. I have not used the lathe very much, but I have no complaints about it. I would have to look closer for the threads for the spindle, but the head 'kit' that I also purchased has an adapter.

Was wondering the same thing...just assembled and started using my machine yesterday. It would be nice to customize it further.
