I am looking forward to starting to turn between centers and I purchased some centers from John, a member here, who has been more then helpful in assisting me through the transition from the mandrel to a better method. If you are considering buying centers I definitely recommend John and would definitely buy from him again.
I am having a bit of trouble getting my old live center, the stock one from Jet, off my tail stock. I know you are supposed to bring the center in quickly and it should force the old one off. This is not working with my lathe.
I also tried to tap the thing off with another piece of metal and it took off the actual center's head off and left the other part behind.
I am looking for advice on how I should get this thing off my lathe.
Moderators: This is my first attempt to post pictures to this site so please, if I did it wrong, let me know. I am not sure exactly how I was supposed to post them and I didn't want to post full sized images so I went with thumbnails.
Thanks in advance.
