Well as I was posting the other day about the new mandrel saver some people started talking about TBC. It is something I had thought about off and on, but to be honest was kind of scared of it. Then I started thinking about it more after some posts. I talked to one of the people via PM and they really helped me. So I got online and ordered me a dead 60 degree center since I already have the live center. I have been through the tutorials and seems simple enough. I don't mind so much on the one part at a time with this method of turning. I am waiting for my dead center which I hope will get here by this weekend. I saw on the latest tutorial someone mentions about drilling their bushings using a 60 degree bit? Not sure if they just call it that or if there is actually one that size? Other than that I am kind of excited to give this a shot. I am planning to hit HF this weekend and buy the digital caliper they have for $9 with the coupon I have. I figure using the bushings without drilling the hole bigger would work to just get it down close to where it needs to be. I know I can forgo the bushings all together, but not sure how brave I am on that one yet lol.
