60 degree live center

[turff49]

Which one should I get. I've got a Oneway 1018 but didn't see any reference toa 60 degree live center on their website. Woodcraft has one at 44.00 dollars. My pens seem to be just a little off and I think it is caused by the live center based off of what I've read here. The center I'm using is the Oneway live center right now. Just looking to see which one you guys prefer. Thanks, Brian

I also have the one from the little machine shop and am very happy with it.

I use only Oneway live centers. I have no idea of the actual angle of the cone but I do blunt the end to keep it from bottoming out (the tip) on the mandrel relief.
