I am looking for a good place to find a mt2 dead center for TBC turning. Anyone have anyone they like??
Thanks.
Thanks.
This is the one I use from johnnycnc. I like the carbide tip just in case..........I am looking for a good place to find a mt2 dead center for TBC turning. Anyone have anyone they like??

I bought my carbide-tipped MT2 cone drive center from Grizzly. It's currently $11.95 and shipping is another $7.95. This is my tool of choice for turning pen blanks along with a cone live center on the tailstock. I bought mine over 2 years ago and it's still like new.

I would love to find one for my Shopsmith.
I've seen threads suggesting a number of ways to make your own (if you have a metal lathe) to cobbling things together using something mounted the Jacobs chuck or a collet (which requires an adapter already). I'd really like to see something that mounts right on the 5/8 shaft so as to reduce as many joints and points of variance as possible. I'm probably asking too much for a bolt-on solution aren't I?

I too have a Shopsmith and put it in my jacobs chuck. Then the live center in the tailstock. Because of my SS toolrest I haven't figured out a way to turn between centers, but I sand and finish that way.
