I have a 60 degree live center for the tailstock and a 60 degree dead center for the headstock. So far, so good in turning a couple of blanks. I noticed some brass dust on the centers after turning. I'm thinking that the blank was slipping a bit. I don't want to tighten the quill too much to expand the tube. I'm not using TBC bushings- is this necessary? I have watched some videos where bushings were used and some that didn't use them. Your help is most appreciated. BTW, calipers are getting a good workout with TBC!
