I haven't tried these yet but it seems like a great idea.

Being able to change the center at will I think would be great.
Anyone tried these?

I have a set that I purchased at Woodcraft- looks like the exact same thing, from the picture. They work fine, after I sanded some of the tip shafts sufficiently to fit in the live center hole. (Out of the 7 tips, 3 would not initially fit in the hole.) (FYI- My set was made in China.)

I agree my luck almost guarantees selecting the wrong 50. fjimp
