Based on our own experience in the Industrial and Scientific field, this live center tool was a true disappointment .The pros of this product are few and far between, with only minimal improvement seen in our work. However, the cons outweigh any benefit to using this tool. The quality and durability of the product were severely lacking leading to a short lifespan of use and a waste of valuable investment. We do not recommend this product for anyone in the Cutting Tools industry..
Pros
Easy to install and use
Cons
Requires a specific size of drill bit to fit properly
My lathe arrived with a few dead spots. So far, this residential center has been a big deal. Decent handling/finish and works as it should. I would definitely recommend it for the home user for the price, but it might not be the best option for everyday use.
