Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Adam J. ★★★★★

The 60-degree point seated perfectly in my tailstock, and the half-notch made changing centers quick without grabbing a wrench. Ground finish is noticeably precise for the price point.

Jason ★★★★★

The hardened steel body feels solid in the chuck, and the 0.475" diameter gives a nice stable fit. Paid off on a few test centers I drilled; the point stays dead-on.

Sofia D. ★★★★★

Ground that 60-degree point is visibly true—you can feel the accuracy when you seat the center in the tailstock. It’s just short of 3.2 inches overall, which works perfectly for my lathe setup.
