Revolving Centre

[BRIAN]

Hi Ed
I thought along those lines but I think that if you take any load from the main bearing it will start to float and loose it's accuracy after all it is the angular load that keeps the bearing running true .

I would like a really long snout, but not going to purchase on, they are too expensive, but would/will make one for my live center that suppose to have interchangeable tips. Don't have them because I bought it used and cheap on ebay and did't even realize it was made for interchangeable tips, picture was poor price was good and run true ans smooth

I made the one in the upper left of the photo. Sometimes you need a longer "snout"!

All are no. 3 taper.
