>Where can I buy a quality cup center? Prefer not to face $100 Oneway purchase if there is a reliable alternative. Has anyone tried the Enco multipoint center for about $50? It seems like someoe should sell just a simple cup center without the added expense of 6 other points I don't need.

I purchased the Woodcraft "Pro Live center" kit. It will be returned. The cup center is poorly machined with a very dull cup rim that won't penetrate hard wood. Worse, it is out of round by a substantial amount.

>Bill:

Whats the part number of the Enco unit you are looking at?

I have the one way and I know it's lot of money but that is one really nice piece of accessory. Mine has a lot of mileage on it and still going strong. I built accessories for it using the threads also that I would hate to lose the option of having.
