How to use a spur center

Mount the spur center to the work piece as shown and then insert the spur center and work piece into the headstock spindle.

Warning!
Do not pound work piece into headstock drive center when turning between centers or you may damage the headstock.

To remove the center, insert a 10 mm (3/8-inch) diameter wooden dowel or steel rod through the headstock spindle hole. While holding the center so it doesn’t fall, tap it out.
