Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Precision and Durability with Atoplee MT2 Center Bearing Turning by Richard Lamptey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unstable quality?

Based on the mostly good reviews I had high hopes for this center. While I could live with 0.001 runout (not listed 0.0002), I can't handle noisy bearings. My whole lathe seemed to snarl at any RPM above 150 RPM. After two minutes of running at 900rpm there was a "sticky" feeling when turning by hand, as if there might be flat spots on the bearings. This is not my first residential center. luck next time.

Pros
  • Great for high speed turning, CNC work, easy to transport and maintain
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
