Well, I am getting sick and tired of fooling with these Dubro Plastic Spinners...So, I think I would like to get a aluminum spinner. I would like to get a 2" Spinner with 5/16-24 adapter. I like the highly polished chrome ones. Any suggestions?

You can polish it yourself though. I think Tru-Turn has directions on their website that are directly contrary to what I'm about to tell you. Either way works.
I just chuck it in a drill or drill press and use progressively finer grades of wet or dry paper and soapy water (electrical shock hazard here- be careful!). You can use the paper dry but you'll go through a lot more of it.
Then I use polishing compound to finish it off. Usually takes an hour or so to get a high polish on it.

My LHS (Tammies in Beaverton) carries the World Models aluminum spinners. They appear to be chrome plated, very shiny. I KNOW that WM has them on their web page, see them there. Don't know who sells them on line.

Just wanna add those plastic spinners are crap. I got one with my kadet and the nose cone fell off and the screw holes widened to much to put it back on. What ever i can use a chicken stick to start it. Couple of turns and the blackplate snaps in two. Im going get one of those metal one as the plastic are just "plane" cheap(arguably a pun).
