Just practising cuts and getting aquatinted with my first lathe the record power dml320 . I have been following YouTube videos for basics however I'm thrown by one aspect . Currently practising turning mushrooms but when it comes to the nub the tailstock is removed and the end is rounded by being supported on the headstock spindle. I have 4 prong drive centre however this will not support the piece whilst turning am I right in thinking that the 4 prong drive centre is removed and I lathe down the diameter of th wood to fit into the centre of the faceplate.
