[SPAM] Homier Mini Lathe questions

Charles E. Kinzer #18292 A "rolling center" is actually the more technically correct name for what is commonly called a "live center". This topic can almost lead to blows between people it seems. And to throw gasoline on that fire, one can point out that, technically, what we call a "dead center", if mounted in the spindle, would then be a "live center" because it is rotating with the workpiece. But it is now common practice to call one with ball bearings "live" and the ones that are a solid piece "dead" and that is pretty common terminology in catalogs, too. But you will occasionally see "rolling center" used. Chuck K. toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Payson To: 7x12minilathe@... Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 2:43 PM Subject: [SPAM] [7x12minilathe] Homier Mini Lathe questions According to the Homier 7x12 product info page, it includes something called a "rolling center". Is that a fancy name for a live center, or is it something else? According to the mini-lathe.com homier lathe review page, it doesn't include a live center, and one isn't shown in the website photo.
Mike Payson #18293 Thanks. That's what I had assumed, but I was a bit confused due to the conflicting information available. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 3/18/07, Charles E.

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18295 I wouldn't count on getting a Live Center with the Homier, but I just ordered one and will let you know. The Lathe description says it includes "1 center roller" that's not shown in the picture, and according to mini-lathe.com 's review of the Homier, it only comes with a dead center. I ordered the Homier accessory kit which includes a Live Center which they call a "Rolling Center" (it's shown in the picture).
Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18423 Homier arrived today, and as expected, no Live Center. Other than the tools and gears, the only accessories that come with it are a 3 jaw chuck and a tailstock dead center.
