Sorby vs China steb center

[John K Jordan]

Yes, the points are springloaded. It seems very good quality to me. I am in Canada, so I can't afford anything out of the US now.... I use Woodchuckers in Ontario, and they have them. They are a good company, nothing but good experiences with them.https://woodchuckers.com/collections/drive-centres Mine is the Woodturning Pro Drive.

Thanks. I ordered one to evaluate.

With shipping and my local sales tax to the USA, it is $12 cheaper buying from Axminster in the UK, but may take 10-13 days to arrive. And they sell both 16mm (5/8”) and 21mm (13/16”) (16mm out of stock today). I just ordered the 21mm.

These centres are safe, secure and offer greater versatility and accuracy than the more common 2 or 4-prong drive centres. Being made entirely of stainless steel they will not rust or corrode when used with green timber or left in an unheated workshop....
