Appears to be a live center, how do you spin the center?

is that a tool post grinder?

I have one; used it once. They make a huge mess and your ways and carriage will not like them. Best to buy new center...For me of course.

If your gunsmithing is paying the light bill...ain't worth it. I have two...both were given to me and they make swell door stops.

Not a gunsmith here! I am just an old redneck Georgia boy. Retirement pays for the lights. When I get tired of playing on the machinery, I go fishing.

Thught so!

I've used my toolpost grinder rarely, when I had to. Stones are so horribly expensive and hard to get for it, that it's almost not worthwhile for anything that you can otherwise purchase or finish some other way. Plus the cleanup of the lathe and work area afterwards.
