    Default 60 degree live centre

    Where can I get one of these from? Cant find it listed anywhere. Is it a standard degree in metalworking and thats why they don't specify.

    60 degrees is standard centre angle in engineering , hence centre drill bits are 60 degrees to match the centres with maximum contact of centre to hole .I am pretty sure that the pen mandrels are centre drilled with a standard 60 degree bit,so if using a wood centre which seems closer to 45 degrees they will only make minimul contact, and probably wear grooves in the centre .

    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
