My live center is making noise like the bearings are going out. Can they be rebuilt? Is it cost effective? I see some for $25 but not sure if they would be any good. I use the live center for both metal work and pen turning.

They can be rebuilt but unless you have an expensive one it probably isn't worth it.

Don't know if they are all made the same but the only one I'm familiar with uses a press fit assembly.
