Little Machine Shop or ?

[Richard Gibson]

I am in the market for a live center and dead center for a Jet 1220. I've seen members mention Little Machine Shop but cannot find any reviews. They have not answered an email that I sent. Anyone have any experience with them or other vendors for these centers?

Check out JohnnyCNC, a member here. He sells both. His web site is Penturners Products. Lathe Accessories : Penturners Products! I have done business with him and he has quality stuff and has very good service.

Another possibility is Victory Machinery Exchange. Carbon Steel Lathe Centers - morse taper
I have also done business with them and have no complaints.

Thanks Andy. I'll check them out.

Don't know about their response time for emails, the guys that run it are great they come to the NAMES show each year and sell their tooling and machines. They advertise in the home shop machinist magazine among others. they have higher end quality import items. they stand behind their items.

I have used the Little Machine Shop for years and have only good to report. Good products, good service at good prices.

I use the live and dead center from little machine shop. I like both of them and the one thing that I dislike is the live center has this screw on the back that tends to work loose.

This is on my lathe, a jet 1220VS, I have one of Toni Randsfield's blanks on there.

The one I have from LMS doesn't have a set screw, that would be a game changer.
