Lathe Live Center provides for smooth, friction-free turning without messy lubricants

Premier-quality Lathe Live Center features precision ball bearing construction for friction-free tip rotation without the need for beeswax or similar lubricants. As a result, your workpiece will turn more smoothly and quietly without the fear of unsightly burning, which, under certain circumstances, can allow your non-bearing Cup Center to loosen its grip on your stock and effect the accuracy of your cuts. Its #2 Morse taper shaft slips easily into your MARK V’s Lathe Tailstock.

IMPORTANT: This Live Center is required when using Shopsmith’s Lathe Duplicator (555638).
