G'day All....
When will I EVER learn to walk away from what appears to be a bargain...read CHEAP tool!
I purchased a 60 degree point Live Center through Ebay. And when I used it for the first time to support my pen mandrel, it started to spew grease after about 5 minutes of use. Apparently, the bearing seal failed. So, I sent it back for a refund or replacement; but have yet to hear back from the supplier.
My question is this: I've found various Live Centers for around $30-40, which have a single point. For around $60, one can get a Live Center with multi-points and cups. Is this worth the extra $$s....would the extra points and cups come in handy for various projects?
Thanks in advance for any tips/advice.
