Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Harper ★★★★★

The 60-degree point centers perfectly every time on my lathe, and the hardened steel feels like it'll last forever. Machined true to size right out of the box.

Aurora ★★★★★

The 0.938" body diameter gave a solid, chatter-free hold in my tailstock. I also appreciate the hardened steel construction, it's clearly built to last through heavy use.

Alexander ★★★★★

The 60º tip seated perfectly in my workpiece, and the hardened steel body held up without a single mark after a full day of turning. It’s accurate enough that I didn’t need to re-indicate my tailstock between parts, which saved me a lot of fiddling.
