The Perform 4 Prong 1MT Drive Centre is perfect for spindle work. Gripping the timber, they prevent your piece from slipping by biting into the timber for consistent driving. A 4 prong drive also minimises the risk of splitting the grain.
The centre point helps alignment so place this on the centre of your workpiece. Give the end of the drive a sharp tap with a mallet rather than using your lathe’s tailstock to push the drive home. This method removes any unnecessary pressure on your lathe’s bearings.
The centre is made in Axminster, UK and has CNC level accuracy.
