TBC?

[Aces-High]

When you guys TBC, what do you use in the HS? I am looking at buying a Morse Taper Dead Center for this. Is that the right thing?

Thanks, Jason

60 degree dead center, here is the one that I use: Carbide-Tipped Lathe Center - MT2 | Grizzly Industrial

I usually use TBC bushings (got mine from lazerlinez) to get the blank close then remove the bushings and carefully mount between the dead and live center and turn to size measuring with calipers.

They carry MT1, MT2 and MT3

I use a dead center no taper in a 3 jaw chuck or could be a collet.

I use a homemade system similar to the PSI system with the stubby mandrel ends on the "driver" and "live center" end. It is a system that I have used for decades for call making and other turnings, including stuff made on my metal lathe.

It also uses the standard kit bushings, no special bushings needed.
