This was an affordable option for a live center for my SB9 lathe. I'm a hobby machinist, so I don't use this for production work... but so far, it's been a good value and performed will for my needs.

This fits an old Logan lathe and seems to work well for a live center. It runs true and smooth.

Fit perfectly on my lathe like it suppose to. It's working like a charm! Very sturdy and well made part. Reasonably priced compared to brick n mortar stores.

This review is for the MT2 live center.This live center is a great bargain. I use it for penturning.I used a Mitutoyo dial indicator with a sensitivity of 0.0001" per increment to measure the runout at the tip and the runout came out to be around only 1/4 to 1/3 of the 0.0001" increment, i.e., the measured runout was about 0.00003" or roughly 3/100,000 of an inch. That's ten times more precise than the advertised concentricity of 0.0003".It's NOT carbide-tipped like the Amazon product description says. There is no evidence of any brazing. You can see that in the magnified pictures of the tip. It has a single-piece steel cone with a Rockwell C hardness of around 61 to 65.Because this live center is so well made and costs so little, I bought two more as spares in case the bearings on the first one wear out. These two extra ones both have equally ultra-low measured runout. This level of ultra-high precision is nothing short of amazing for such a low-priced item. Although I don't need to have anywhere near this level of ultra-high precision for penturning, it's still nice to know it's manufactured so precisely.Although buying Chinese machine accessories is still often a hit-and-miss adventure, this live center is clearly a hit. Twenty years ago, it was not hyperbole to claim that Chinese-made machine accessories were almost all uniformly junk. It's not so anymore. Many Chinese manufacturers surely have caught up with improved manufacturing standards and quality, and their prices are impossible for western or Japanese products to beat for comparable quality products.
