Making an Inverted Live Centre for the Lathe
G'day everyone,
This is another side project that I have done recently. I need to machine up some pins with a convex end. The pins are made from 1/2" stock and are long enough that they need to be supported at the end. My current live centre is convex and can not be used to support them.
I could have purchased an inverted live centre, but since I am going to have limited use from it, I thought that it would be much easier to make it from materials I already had on hand.
The bearings are not the exact type that I would have like to use, but they do the job and have stood up the job that I needed them for.
