Inspired by norwegian master turner petter herud, this revolving (or live) version of the stebcentre allows the turner to experiment with off-center or eccentric turning. With a light setting this offers safety for the novice turner because the workpiece simply stops revolving should a dig-in occur, rather than causing kick back. In time critical production turning, the teeth can be backed off with the point still in place, so the workpeice can be stopped and checked without removing it from the lathe, and finished pieces and blanks can be exchanged by backing off the tail stock, rather than starting and stopping the lathe. This offers many advantages. These revolutionary spur drives combine a spring loaded center point with a ring of razor sharp teeth. Size refers to drive face diameter. Made in england.
