I believe Oneway sells a live center and an adapter to attach a face plate to the tail stock but the pieces are a bit pricy, especially the live center. Anyone know of a work-around?
Thanks

Yes buy 4 or 5 other brand live centers which will wear out before the Oneway does. FYI oneway will replace the bearings when the wear out for free.

C'mon Art, what are the chances of wearing out a live center on a WOOD lathe? Really?

Not sure what you're trying to do, but there are MT to thread adapters, and live centers like the Nova have an adapter I use for wooden fixtures based on a 1/4" hanger bolt. Keeps things centered nicely.

A fellow at our turning club had a wooden cup used for turning spheres mounted on a cheap live center. Bored out hole to fit live center into and then glued it in with epoxy I think. Not a real faceplate but depends on what you want it for. Billh
