I wanted to mount a cone on my live center that would run true with the head stock. I epoxied a nut into the base of the cone and screwed it onto the live center. In order to ensure that it was running true, I wanted to mount the live center in the head stock and turn it true. The center appeared to have provision for a draw bar, but when it came time to mount it, the hole in the Morris taper had no threads. It fits a 1/4 20 allthread snugly.
Is there any way to fit a draw bar to a Powermatic center (The Oneway knock off?)
