Some Progress & Lathe Centers
Put together a work bench last night, assembled my drill press, then I was going to mount the lathe to the bench but then got distracted by the centers. It is a jet mini lathe, it has a cupped live center but the drive doesn't have a center pin (appears to be missing) which is possible as it wasn't mine.

So my question is.... what are you guys using? a 4 prong with the center point, are you using a cupped live center on the dumb end and if yes what is the distance between the point and the cup? Maybe there is something cool out there that I don't know about...

don't have to shut the lathe off between blanks
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Penn State Industries sells Steb Centers for $20. I paid 3 times that amount for my Sorbey's. The PSI stebs are fine.
