New Tail center for pen turning

Post by clementfeme »

I had it, put it away, and now cant find it. A few weeks ago, I ran across a new Tail stock center that would let the mandrell slip right through. The only pressure that it would would be on the bushings Themselves. It looked like a pretty good idea to me. Now that I have thought about it for e few weeks, I cannot find the supplier of this strange tail stock. If any one has an idea, I would like the supplier. I believe that I even saw a video demo. of this.


Thanks

Clement

Clement, I posted a message on this some time ago, you can view it HERE. It is Penn State Industries that sells it, and I just checked, it's on their web site HERE, but catagorized oddly (under Pen Assembly & Disassembly).
