Don't waste your money on a live centre  :hellno: In the small stuff a fixed centre works well and it doesn't get in the way.

I've only got those two  :headscratch: three drill chucks, the two Cowells  :Love: supplies plus a cheapy Chinese  ::) chuck with a home made taper fitted.

I think three is to many even for you, I think you should find a new home for the cheapy Chinese one with the home made taper, I am sure some one out there who hasnt got one chuck might be willing to buy it :naughty:

 :o That's a big one.

I would look to get yourself a 0 to 4mm drill chuck for the tailstock and a larger 6.35mm one.
