I ordered this and another live center from Amazon recently only to find they were the wrong size. The mistake was mine - the one redeeming factor was that returning them was a snap! I wish all Internet business was this simple. The quality and price of the live center was excellent. I bought the same product in a different size from another vendor and had to pay more to get it.

I built a spring pole lathe and bought two of these live cup centers to provide easy, smooth action. My lathe works great, and so far I have not had any problems at all with seizing, wobbling, noise or any other center-related issues. Both centers I received are exactly as pictured/listed here, the bearings work like a charm, and I have been 100% satisfied with their performance.

I got this to use on my Shopsmith Lathe becuase the Shopsmith brand live center is way more expensive. I've used it several times and it has performed well. I was having issues with my dead center burning the end of the wood as it turned and this eliminated that. However, one thing I noticed is how "fat" the spike is on the center itself. This makes it a bit harder to get it to stick into the wood. Overall it is a very nice live center for the price.

I had always turned wood with a dead center and thought to myself that I would love to have a live center. It does the job nicely and has all the accuracy that I need for my occasional turning.

After reading previous reviews about the quality of the bearings on live centers (I bought 3 different live centers at once from PSI), the first thing I did was just turn it by hand. Amazing how this could have left China never mind PSI... it was junk. The bearing just crunched (for want of a better word) as it turned. Since I live in Philly and so are they, and I didnt want to send back in the post for a replacement and get another one also of dubious quality, I drove round to their place and got it replaced and tested before I left the building. Me and the guy who I was dealing with went through at least 5 others before I came across a good one.I would have given this product 1 star, but because PSI was accomodating in replacing it with a decent one, I give 3.I would have replaced the bearing myself but it looked too much of a challenge.

Handy to have when turning softer wood where you don't want the sharp single point center digging in.
