long nose live center

[Charlie69]

I'm looking for a live center that gives me more room for the tools. Not a whole lot of options that I've found except for a few on ebay. Does anybody have any experience with these. Or any recommendations?

Contact Mark Supik in Baltimore. He has a true long nose tail center which some of our club members bought from him.
Not cheap but high quality!

I have the cnc precision one from zlivecenter in 3mt for my lathe It works great. Thats about the best price I found at the time. The other two are the same one sold by different people. The long straight taper lets you get your tool back off the work without hitting the nose of the live center. I can recomend it easily.

If you have a Oneway or a Powermatic live centre I can make you one for just the shipping.

I have used one of these extensions which allows you to use your revolving centers as well as other accessories. It gives you an additional 3 1/2 inches of space.

That's the better looking one of the bunch, I think as well.

Lol the one I really want is this one from Riten.

mredburn it's good to hear you like the cnc precision center, I'm going to go with that one.

lorbay thanks for the offer! unfortunately I have neither a oneway or powermatic center.

 

[mredburn]

You can have the Riten, You just need to pay the price!

I do have a Riten in the cnc version in mt2, I use it on My 6 in Atlas lathe. I bought it used though not new for about $70.00 The chinese one does well enough for what I need it for.

Not sure what you are turning but I often use a dead center in the tailstock when reverse turning. Takes little fussing but works for me! Of course when turning pens between centers use my dead center in headstock.

Grizzly also has a couple of long nose live centers too!

Many thanks for that source. I'm getting one to use for a large goblet that I'm making. Not a bad price and the shipping now is only $4.95

The Nova (Teknatool) Live Center System comes with a long-nose tip in addition to the regular 60* tip, reverse-cone, etc.

Update: This a really good quality extension. I may cut the tang off if I need a bit more length, but it's just what I need now the way it is.

Glad to hear it helped. I have received more help from this Forum than I could ever repay - it is always good to hear when something works for someone. I use that extension frequently and it is a good one. Thanks for letting us all know of your experience.
