MT1 live center

[InkyMike]

Does anyone have an MT1 live center they like? I picked one up off of eBay that looked to be decent but it's already galled turning between centers - and I don't think I've been Herculean in tightening it down. Threw the centricity off a hair in a latest turn. Looking for a replacement that doesn't break the bank.

Thanks!

I have a couple from this company Z-Live Center. They have all price ranges and decent quality, not the best but DEFINITELY not the worst.

Thanks Rick. When are you going to start making them?

(And as a bright spot, the galling wasn't too deep - I put it against a chucked up block of wood and polished it it. I'll see if being even more gentle with it helps)

I've purchased a live 2MT here at a reasonable price and used it for years. Still using it. They also sell other useful stuff.
