Live Center
ONEWAY Live Centers are designed specifically for the wood turner. They have a threaded, rotating, cup center, which is the only component that rotates. This feature contributes to a safer working environment.
Our Live Centers include the necessary accessories to suit most applications.
The unique, threaded cup center provides the following advantages to the wood turner:
- First, the full point and reversible bull nose cones can be easily attached and removed.
- Second, if turning outside the capacity of the provided cone, a user specific support can be made by drilling a hole in a blank, attaching it to the live center and turning it to suit your requirements.
- Included In Kit
- Center Point:
One center point. Points are easily replaced when damaged. - Bull Nose Cone:
A reversible bull nose cone is provided for support on the outside or the inside of turnings. - Full Point Cone:

Optional Acc.
Pen Turning Point (NEW)
We’ve had several pen turners approach us about an accessory for the Live Center which would be better suited to turning pens. It needed to be small, made from steel, and attach to the Live Center.
Oneway have created a small, easy to install Live Center point called the Pen Turning Point.
It’s made from a solid piece of steel so you no longer have to be worried about wearing away the aluminum full point cone you have used in the past.
It’s tapered shaft fits straight into the Live Center. It can be easily removed using the knock-out rod supplied with the Live Center.
Live Center Adaptor’s - What are they? How are they useful?
ONEWAY have developed a quick and easy way to precisely center a bowl in order to hollow it out. This is achieved using a Live Center Adaptor.
How do I precisely center a bowl?
These adaptors are threaded to screw onto your ONEWAY Live Center, effectively changing the ¾ - 10 thread (of the Live Center) to the same thread as your spindle. With one of these adaptors, a very precise centering method can be used:
- Attach a bowl blank to a faceplate.
- Turn the outside of the bowl, including a foot (or tennon) to chuck it on.
- Using the Live Center adaptor, attach a chuck or faceplate to the Live Center.
- Move the tailstock (with the Live Center / chuck assembly attached) up to the bowl, and grab the foot or tennon on the bowl while it is still attached to the faceplate and lathe.
- Remove the faceplate, bowl blank and chuck from the lathe.
- Remove the faceplate from the bowl blank.

This unique adapter allows precision centering of spindles or dowels at the tailstock end. Also, it provides the ideal system for the mounting bowls for hollowing; after turning the outside of the bowl blank, turn a tenon on the bowl bottom.
