Questions & Answers
Yes. When I needed to remove the live center from the tail stock quill, I would tap it and the bearing would begin to come out of the housing. To keep the bearing in place, I had to epoxy it into the housing. If you're looking for a live center with a housed bearing, you might want to look elsewhere.
It's what I use for my wood. It performs admirably.
At rocker, you can get a ginode mt1. for around $25 on com
It should fit if the Craftsman uses Morse Taper 2. If you are unsure, I recommend conducting a web search for your lathe's manual. There are websites where you can get them for free.

Because of the bad bearings, this center is quite wobbly and useless. br>br>Only a couple of times have I used the center. A howl and an oscillation occurred when I applied side pressure to the work with a tool, causing spiral grooves in the wood. The problem vanished when I switched back to the cup type live center that came with the lathe. It was because of them that I became aware of the center's wobble. br>br>Because of the wobbly bearing or bearings, this center is essentially scrap metal. I guess I should not have tried to save money on this item. br>br>I'm guessing this facility only has one-bedroom apartments. The better brands use two or three bearings to keep their live centers spinning true.
I needed a tailstock to help me finish some of my smaller projects. I bought this to tide me over until I can afford the ONEWay tool. So far, I'm happy with it, and it's been running smoothly with no issues.
This tailstock is sealed, unlike the PSI tailstock, so it won't come loose on the back end and expose the bearings to dust and debre. It is unquestionably a good value for money. Despite the fact that the back end isn't entirely accurate, I give the quality a five-star rating.
Tailstock was delivered in a timely manner. br>I took the package out of the box and started playing with it; I noticed roughness in the bearings as they rotated in my hand, so I contacted Amazon, got a return authorization, and received a replacement quickly. I've done a dozen or so turnings and they've all gone as smoothly as silk. I have been a happy customer.
My center looked great, and the packaging was excellent, and I really wanted to like it, but I can't because the bearings are loud and sound to me like they're either of poor quality or worn out. I'm not going to return it because it's only $22 and the center is still usable; instead, I'm going to use it until it breaks.
On November 18th, I placed an order for this, and on January 2nd, I began using it. The bearing is sloppy and noisy right out of the package. Clearly, this was not subjected to a quality control inspection. I'll request a replacement and see what else is available. I'll keep you informed about the outcome.
This live center is well worth your money if you want to get the most bang for your buck. I mean, it's not like you're getting one from a random person. However, it serves me well as a live center and a sssd, which is exactly what I needed. When I'm turning a bowl on the lathe and need to clean up the bottom, this tool comes in handy. Because you can cut most of the Wood away with your sander and leave very little to clean up, I can remove all or almost all of the bottom of the bowl.
This tailstock is fantastic as long as you use it on hardwood; otherwise, because it's just a point, it can crack the wood.
