I thought some one on here did a post on a small rotating center. I have searched and couldn't find anything - so may be I just dreamed it
It could have been Bob (kvr3000) refurbishing one ???

Has anyone thought about modifying a standard live center into an extended point version? Sure should be less work than starting from scratch.
Great, just gave myself another project.
I have one, but I think mine is Chinese. For the number of times I use it, it should be OK though I will always wish I'd bought a better one. You know I like to run the tools on my lathe hard. ;)
That is an interesting thought Stan.
How hard does the tip need to be given that it is rotating with the work? I'm not sure how hard my current cheap Chinese one is but I too have a scar on it from retracting the carriage back a little too far.
Too bad your tailstock is MT4 Ken, otherwise I may have stuffed your extended point centre in my suitcase whilst you weren't looking
...just kidding
