Returning Bench Centers to Service
- Thread starter Ulma Doctor
- Start date
bench centers are used for holding and indicating cylindrical work (usually)
it can also be used for indication of polygons
here is a picture of another brand, set up for use
Hey Mike,
Interesting to see delrin in the shaper......in my mind, the elasticity of the material might come into play.....moreso than on the mill or lathe.
Just curious: Did you notice the entire block changing shape during a cut?
I suppose it would depend on how much material length is out of the chuck jaws.

Complete with a Mahr indicator .
it was a complete S#it show
the whole slug moved back and forth.
the delrin was just a test to see what i could get away with.
truth be told, i figured if the delrin went flying, i wouldn't put bronze in the rotary table
delrin machines beautifully on a shaper, in a vise
here is an updated picture
i'll take a few more finish cuts on the left side as oriented, to reduce the width a bit
don't think for a second i wouldn't try my hand at printing a set
