Using my FP1 horizontal spindle. The Deckel arbors have a bearing surface at the outboard end that runs in the overarm support. The arbor I have to use for this particular application is not Deckel brand and does not have this bearing area, instead it has an internal 60 degree center drilled, I'm sure left over from when it was ground. Anyway I would like to run a live center in this center drilled outboard end of the arbor. Unfortunately there's really no provision on the outboard support for a live center. I could grind a 60 degree point on a piece of drill rod but there would be no way to generate any thrust to keep the point in the arbor. Clear as mud? Anyone dealt with this?
