If you have a Oneway live center or a PM knockoff, this is for you. A small extension that works great. I bought this from Cindy Drozda at a symposium a couple of years ago. She was using one to turn finials.

I saw her use something like this on one of her videos. Are they available commercially?

The last time I saw a demo by Cindy (2010 Hartford Symposium), she was promoting the Multistar Micro 22 Live Center that has an identical seeming tip, but a very small body. A bit of googling suggests that she used to sell a set of alternate points for the Oneway Live Center, but they are no longer on her website.

Maybe these are the same?

Thanks Wally! You are truly a wealth of knowledge. Can't tell you how many times I "machined" my live center:(
