Title: Off-set centers
Post by: Darren on April 07, 2009, 11:54:11 AM

Can someone please explain what a pair of off-set centers are on a lathe,

I know what centers are, but how do you off-set them  :scratch:

I would assume centers where centered and the work was off-set on the centers being driven by a dog?

Crankshaft throws are turned between a pair of offset centre holes.......  ::)
