I was wondering which mandrel people like to use on here? I was considering getting the Beall chuck. Right now i use a standard Mandrel with a #2 morse taper. Will I get a better read out from the chuch? thanks
JohnnyCNC's bushing in between centers.Originally posted by GoodTurns
give up the mandrel! dead center on the head, live center on the tail, bushings and blank in between. you'll be glad you did!

it may lead to premature wearing of the lathe bearings.

I hope so.... I would surely have to get a new lathe then! []
That's smart thinking Mark! Let's hope it does not happen at a bad time.

Beall here.
I am one of the first to try turning between centers (with dead center and live center) and a proponent for some time but stopped because I personally believe (and I may be mistaken) that it may lead to premature wearing of the lathe bearings.

Dario, I can't think of why this would put strain on the bearings. Can you fill me in? Thanks

I have 4 mandrels, 3 "A" and 1 "B". I also have the Beall and it gives a minor improvement for me.
