Line 613:
*** Holding awkward shapes
*** Reusing centers on existing parts or that someone else cut
**** Recutting a center if you need to (toolpost support trick)
** Setting up a center and a catch plate
*** Installing a center in the headstock
*** Installing the catch plate
*** Picking a suitable dog size, setting it up so it won't slap
**** Caution about over or undertightening
*** Alternatively making a center on stock held in a 3/4 jaw chuck
*** Live or Dead center at the tailstock?
*** Might require the use of steadies if the part is long
** Turning between centers
*** The dog and catch plate will cause imbalance so watch speed
*** Parts may be very long so watch out for flex
**** Use support if needed
**** Take shallow cuts
** Tailstock offset turning
*** Regular centers only for the smallest of offsets
**** Part distortion if used too much
*** Using ball-bearing centers for larger offsets
*** Resetting the tailstock alignment when done, high precision required
* Making and shaping brazed carbide cutters
