Drive and Revolving lathe centres that provide secure and precise support for your work pieces.
To turn a spindle on a lathe requires a centre at each end to hold the work piece. A drive centre sits at the headstock end, a revolving centre (also known as a live centre) fits at the tailstock end.
Centres have either a Morse Taper 1 or Morse Taper 2 fitting. Some are designed to fit directly onto a scroll chuck.
For maximum grip of the work piece consider a crown drive with a ring of sharp teeth.
