Great live center that provides 'catch' release protection:
This is a good type of live center, it works great for turning stock of various sizes. I have no complaints about it. Nicely keeps tension on your stock by the backwards pressure provided from the tensioned spring hidden below the tip. Works great when your tool catches the stock, this usually will allow spinout of the stock thus preventing injuries. Highly recommend this live center if you turn stock in the arena of 1" square stock for the smaller diameter face will bite into the stock whereas... more info
PSI Crown Center:
Good all around unit. I am replacing it with the same product. Have used it extensively for turning after drilling and countetsinking pen blanks.

Even with that I made a center and filed the teeth and its pretty servicable. Better price... more info
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.
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.
