And have you ever seen a "half center"? A hardened center for
the tailstock with almost half of the diameter ground off so a facing
tool could get to the center hole to finish the end of a shaft. I've
got one of those -- but too small for my main lathe. Nice for doing
things that the ball bearing center won't allow.

I probably have 10 of those, from #1 MT to #5 MT..the headstock size
on my 15x58

O.K. But does it also match the tailstock? I can't see using a
half-center in the headstock. :-)

Enjoy,
