Chuck holding Steb Center

[troyboy1]

Could anyone please have a link,we’re I can buy,a chuck holding revolving steb Center,I want to practice the Skew Chisel,just incase I get a lot of catches, so, with the steb centre,it’s a safety feature,Sorby does it be ,but it’s very expensive,£60-70, I have MT2 live centers,but ,when I place it into the head stock,it’s not revolving at the speed of the motor,so if I place a chuck holding revolving steb centre,the spindle will rotate at maximum speed,If anyone has any ideas how I can secure the MT2 live steb centre,it would be greatly appreciated,if you can help me out.

Around here our club praise safe drives for spindle turning. There are no teeth or spurs to tear out the end of the wood when there is a catch. Basically it is the old dead centres you would have used with some wax in the tailstock when turning spindles placed in the headstock. It's what I have.

I use a matching 2MT ring centre and drive. If the work slips after a catch you simply apply more pressure to get the work revolving again. Steb centres always seem overpriced for what they are - which is a ring centre with a serrated edge.

The set I have is from Axminster Tools.

Probably but you are in a better position to search them out than I.

I did find these sets of centres for cheap and there is a live (bearing) and ring centre (what I grew up knowing as a dead centre) that will cover both ends of the spindle. There must be other sources of similar products.

Search ring centres - axmister sell them and a dead centre / live centre combo is excellent.

I hold all my drive centres in a chuck. You don't need a special one.
