The NOVA 71101 1-1/4 inch flexible point drive center is an clever design which is popular amongst Spindle turners. This ingenious drive center should become a popular tool among Spindle turners. The "flexible point" spring-loaded center point allows you to set your work piece in place (or remove it) with the Lathe turning. Your work piece spins when you increase Tailstock pressure and the drive center teeth bite into the wood. With light pressure - it will drive your work, but allow it to stop if you have a catch, minimizing damage to your work piece. With increased pressure - it will power through even the heaviest cuts. Since its multiple teeth spread the pressure over a larger area, the flexible point drive center is less likely to split your work piece than a standard spur.
