I've used a Grizzly 60 degree live center for years and no wear pattern... It is the Machinist type and the nose is hardened steel...

Johnny I have made two Slim Line Pros with it and it worked fine. It was a little stiff at first due to the grease but if you work it a little it runs very free. The 60 degree is a lot better then the one that came with the lathe. It is much tighter instead of just making contact on the point.
