woodturning revolving tail system

[tinytim1458]

Hi can you help.
I am wondering whether to get one or another revolving tail woodturning system to expand my turning but need your input to help me choose a good system but also will lay a long lasting system
I have to choose either a Record Power revolving tail centre system
The Robert Sorby revolving tail centre system
One by RDGTOOLS
plus any others that might be available in the Uk as well.

Who has tried one of these 3 systems or more and maybe others as will to give me a good j of what

Thanks and ask the best Tim.

I have the Teknatool Nova live centre. Pretty pleased with it, does all I ask of it, haven't tried any other, so cannot compare. Would recommend it though.

I have the Robert Sorby one and I am very pleased with it. One thing I use it for is making up my own shaped bits for different job as with one of the attachments you have this facility

Hi Tim
The stebcentre http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/stebcentres.htm appears to be popular with the professionals and it may give you more confidence when using the skew reducing catches that can put your nerves on edge.

I have one from Axminster with interchangeable centres, comprising narrow, wide, standard and small cup centres and a tiny faceplate centre.
Very versatile and sometimes just what`s needed for a particular project.
