Hi,
Have probably used my live centre 50 times with a mandrel and 10 times mandrel-less and it seems to be wearing quickly on the tip where it meets the mandrel. Also getting wear marks from the tubes when turning mandrel-less.
Is this normal? Its just a standard 60deg live center, no carbide tip etc. The same is also starting to happen to my dead-centre but obviously only from the brass tubes not on the tip?
If this is normal, whats the normal time a centre will last before needing replacement. Before the mandrel becomes sloppy fitting at the tip?
Cheers, PHIL
