I think I got the eccentric version. I received it yesterday and slapped it in the lathe today and started on an acrylic. Near the end of the process found a crack at the tailstock end. Attributed it to a bad blank or technique. Oh well...it happens. Mounted next blank, also an acrylic. Near the end of the process on this one found two cracks at the tail stock end. This time when I turned off the lathe I watched the TS center and it was visibly untrue. So much so that I didn't bother to get the indicator out and check the runout.
I put the stock LC back on and all is well including the smoother running sound I had lost with the LMS center.
Could the center being like this with all the other pressures being bought to bare on a blank have cause these cracks?
I have the heavy duty LMS LC in my other lather and it works great.
