Re: Dead Center
If the centers have to be trued now and then, is this an argument against getting a carbide tipped one? Stan

Re: Quick Change Post
You are right about the Yuasa piston. It is the only one that i know of that is acceptable. For all other imports just get wedge. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Re: Dead Center
What no-one has answered is whether you already have a sleeve or not ? The MT3-2 sleeve allows you to use a variety of MT-2 tooling in the spindle , and an MT-2 centre will also fit the tailstock . .

Re: Dead Center
The sleeve type 3MT to 2MT adapter is to be greatly preferred over the much more common tang type in that at least the Atlas made one does not hang the 2MT widget out in front of the spindle nose.

Re: Quick Change Post

Re: Dead Center
A Morse #3 solid center or a Morse #2 solid center in a Morse #3 sleeve will fit your headstock spindle equally well. I¡¯d go with the sleeve, though, for several reasons. The #2 centers are cheaper.
