Mix and match points and bodies to create a lathe center that suits your job. Use an extractor (sold separately) to remove a point and swap in a new one.
Center Points
Flat-Knurled Point
Flat-Knurled Point—Flat knurled points sit flush against workpieces for a tight grip. Their knurls create friction that keeps your workpiece from slipping.
Live—Live centers sit in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. They spin with the workpiece to reduce friction between the tip and the material. For smooth rotation, these centers turn on lubricated bearings. The bearings are sealed to protect against chips and liquid, which extends the life of the tool.
