#1 morse taper question for new lathe owner

[Steve Russell tucker]

I recently got a great deal on a 12 inch craftsman wood lathe and i read in the OM that the drive center is a #1 Morse taper my lathe's only problem is that it didn't come with a head stock drive center. so after looking at a bunch of different ones online I've seen some listings have a bunch of different sizes what i need to know is are they all the same size on the inside ? i mean as long as i get a drive center that is a # 1 will it fit my lathe ? I'm sure this sounds dumb but honestly i just don't know very much about lathes at all , and I guess i just need some guidance. thank you all for your time.

Any #1 will fit. This is the portion that fits inside the spindles. Any other measurements will be the out side end that drives or supports the wood your turning.
