Hi,
I've come to realize that I need a live center (MT4) that has a point that will allow work on OD's as small as approx 12mm.
The static holders I use are std. 25 mm and I have failed to find live centers that have a sufficiently reduced OD point to allow access for typically threading.
Considering buying a live center with replaceable inserts and making my own in case I can't find anything.
I generally work with light parts with low tolerance requirements, so this live center "tip" does not need to take up great loads.
I have looked into Royal (US) and Rohm (GER), but I suspect there probably is an out of the box product for me somewhere. Cost not a big factor, I only need to buy this once:-)
Thanks in advance for all tips!
