Adam Savage Fixes His Lathe Live Center!

Adam gives a breakdown of how his lathe's tailstock and live centers work, and shows how one of his live centers is just 1/8 of an inch too short to marry with the taper inside the tailstock. So today's repair job is to extend the end plug of that live center by machining a replica of it--using the lathe itself!
