Wondered if any one has or used this set of livecenters? I was wanting a small livecenter for doing small turnings so you can get into tight places. Woodcraft has them on special. Thanks.

Bernie,
I have the Robert Sorby Deluxe Revolving Centre System
Hollow MT2 DRCK/2
The Woodcraft one looks to be a copy.
I have had the Sorby set for about a year or so and I like it alot for the small stuff.

I got that same set as a Christmas present. It is certainly a multipurpose set and works for most applications. I'm not sure about the quality of the components, but for the price you can't beat it

Bernie,
I have that WC set and have had it for over a year. It works well for me.

Bernie,
I've had this set for over a year and it works fine for most applications. For heavier duty ones, the oneway is very good but substantially more expensive.

Thanks for the help. I do have the oneway Hilel. I wanted something that was small for doing lidded boxes, finials, etc. and be able to work around and smaller than the oneway. I think for $45 I will get it.
