Hi Folks,

Got an idea and tried it out and it seems to work pretty well. Not
sure it would stand up to serious hogging, but worked out well turning
down a about a 1/2" square stick to a dowel :).

Took very little time to make. Can probably be improved but until I
see a need for it...



Hope it helps someone.

Take care, Vikki.

A great idea. Very similar to the 'safe' driving centres available. If enough pressure is applied with a rolling centre in the tailstock, should cover most turning needs and if anything catches, it just allows the material to stop before any serious damage is done.
