Sorby Original Stebcentre, 1/2 in. x #2MT

Sorby Original Stebcentre, 1/2 in. x #2MT is a revolutionary spur drive center designed to replace traditional spur drives while offering all the great advantages of the Stebcentre. This innovative tool combines a spring-loaded center point with a ring of razor-sharp teeth, allowing the degree of "bite" to be adjusted by winding in the tailstock, all while keeping the center point firmly located. This feature provides numerous benefits, including enhanced safety for novice turners, as the workpiece will simply stop revolving if a dig-in occurs, preventing kickback. For time-critical production turning, the teeth can be backed off with the point still in place, enabling the workpiece to be stopped and checked without removal from the lathe. Additionally, finished pieces and blanks can be exchanged by backing off the tailstock instead of starting and stopping the lathe. The size refers to the drive face diameter, and the Stebcentre is available in diameters of 1/2", 7/8", and 1-1/4". Manufactured by Robert Sorby in England, this tool combines precision and safety for woodturning professionals and enthusiasts alike. Model Number: LSTB250
