This is a good idea! I hope I can remember it long enough to use it. |

To save putting a lot of strain on the point of the centre and / or marking the work, stick a small ball race in between the centre and the work. Helps spread the load and also allows you to use a thinner normal dead centre so you can get closer in. John S. |

It is fastened on to the original clamp blocks, as a direct replacement to the original perspex "guard"......... Sorry, I do not have a clear photo handy. But I could take more later, if you need any. :thumbup: David D |
