I've searched and haven't really found the answer to my questions. I'm setting up my used Mark V greenie, bought a few years ago, for the lathe for the first time. I have the lathe drive center, but no lathe center for the other side. I know someone selling a lathe cup center, and I'm thinking of picking it up, but the SS site says I need #2 morse tenon. All I have is the round, adjustable wheel that fits in the headstock. I was hoping the cup center would just fit into that. Yes? No? What do I need?
Thanks.
