Hi, Thanks, but works out £160, with adaptor, but does incudes cones, points etc. Still pricey for me.
You buy it only once.

The SC4 has to be bought with an insert for it and there are plenty, so choose a centre with any thread you like and buy the right insert from Record Power?

The two live centres above
from Axminster both have 3/4" x 16 threads, so you could get one of these in the UK, and if you live near will need no postage. First is £49.98 for MT2.

Found an affordable centre, from RDGTOOLS, £29.50, also picked up a new 3/4 16tpi, second tap for £14.50 from them. These prices included VAT and delivery also.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

The OP wants to attach a workpiece at the tailstock end - that's why he needs a chuck on a revolving centre, not just a revolving centre.

Yes I realise that thats why I suggested those live centres as they both have a 3/4" x 16tpi thread on them to allow him to make an attachement.
I use the one in the first link myself to make new attachments on 3/4"x16 nuts, so I know it works.
Yes. Sorry, I didn't notice that.
What thread have you got on your chuck ? Just wondering if not 3/4 x 16 then haven't you got to buy an insert also?Found an affordable centre, from RDGTOOLS, £29.50, also picked up a new 3/4 16tpi, second tap for £14.50 from them. These prices included VAT and delivery also.

My Chucks have m33 thread, and other chucks 3/4 16tpi, my lathe m33, my wife's lathe is 3/4 16, so we have both sizes and inserts already.
I may go down this route - all I need is another backplate for my second versachuck.
