Description of Jet 709989 Ultra Drive Center 1/2 x MT-2"
These centers feature a unique serrated circular ring that delivers extra holding power.The spring-loaded center allows you to position the center point into the wood blank and use the tailstock ram to apply pressure onto the serrated ring. Because there are no sharp edges being driven into the wood, the chance of the stock splitting is reduced. Just apply enough pressure until the center grips the stock?that's all there is to it!Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jet 709989 Ultra Drive Center 1/2 x MT-2"
Customer Review: Jet 1/2" drive center
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this drive cneter for two years. It is is a very nice drive center for small spindle work like ornaments and such. The 1/2" size makes it easy to work near the drive center on small spindle work. The small teeth hold well and on larger work tend to act a little like a safety center - if you get a catch the work will slip. I have not used the cheaper 5/8" Pen State steb center but I have their 1" steb center. I find the 1" teeth too course and the 1" is too large for the smaller work I frequently do. I rarely use the two and 4 tooth drive centers that came with my lathe.
