1.) Nice center, nice price

Works great. Much better grip than the stock 4 prong drive center that came with my lathe. The retractable point is a nice touch. Works great on my Jet Mini lathe. I also bought and like the 1" model of this drive center.

2.) Excellent value.

This is a very nicely made imitation of the Sorby Steb Center. I also own the larger 1" version, which I recommend as well.

I also have the Sorby version of this center and the PSI is just as good and only 1/3 the price. I have to put a best buy lable on this one.

Nicely made easy to use. Because of the spring loaded point it does not drift your center point in the work piece.

I purchased this drive center because the one that came with my lathe often split the wood if the time-consuming precut cross and center hole were not perfect. This one has dozens of teeth and a spring loaded center point. Most jobs require zero preparation. For example, I needed a 5/8 inch x 6 inch dowel for a tool fixture. I took a small piece of a rough split log and in 15 seconds it was installed on the lathe and spinning. Quality is excellent.

6.) Good drive

Good drive for the PCI Turncrafter VS I bought. I love the spring loaded center. 5 stars! What's not to like? seats in the headatock perfectly.

Nice tool (lathe center) for the price. Well packed in a hard plastic slip case for future keeping when not in use! Bagged and oiled to prevent rust, very nice tool! Very nice labeling and packing, well made.
1/3 the price of name brand and for woodworking lathes it is just as good as far as I can tell.

8.) Just right,

As small spindle turner I found the standard stab centers were A. Often too big or B. Could split smaller turning stock. The PSI 5/8" Crown Drive center was just the ticket to solve those problems. A great value for the money (as are most items from PSI on Amazon) Standard fit and finish it went right to work on my lathe and I doubt my stab center will see daylight again soon.

9.) Wonderful drive center

Not only do I own one which I use from time to time. We ahve 6 of them at the facility where I teach, these drive centers work great. They even survive the unavoidable drops by students. My students like them a lot, I know of several that have purchased them here at Amazon. I think that is a really great review all of its own.

Nice drive center for the money.
Does not mark up spindle ends much,
nor have I had any split work.I only gave
it 4 stars because it will not fully seat
in the headstock of my Jet mini lathe.It only
lacks about a 1/16" from seating fully.
I plan to grind the tail end off to remedy the issue.
It will,however seat in the tailstock.But since
it is a drive center,it should seat in the headstock.
Would buy again.

Good all around unit. I am replacing it with the same product. Have used it extensively for turning after drilling and countetsinking pen blanks. Good with metal lathes which I use to turn to round before finishing on the wood lathe. Using the metal lathe, I got a carbide cutter into mine and dinged the teeth, then tapped it out of my jet and the center flew out and I lost the center and spring. Not the tool's fault. Even with that I made a center and filed the teeth and its pretty servicable. Better price here than PSI, but check out PSI for variety.
