## Overview

The PSI Woodworking LDC2MT Live Tailstock converts a #2MT dead tailstock into a live tailstock featuring a 1/2" drill chuck mounted on a #2 Morse Taper arbor. It spins smoothly on ball bearings, allowing secure centering and gripping of shafts up to 1/2" diameter, ideal for enhanced workpiece stability. Perfect for woodturners seeking precision and reliability without drilling capability.

## Description

Converts your lathe's #2MT dead tailstock to a live tailstock with a 1/2" drill chuck mounted. Mounts to tailstock with the included #2 Morse Taper arbor. Spins with ball bearings. After being mounted, tailstock is converted from dead to live and it will accept mandrels, dowels, tenons, or any shaft up to 1/2" in diameter. Ideal for an additional secure workpiece mount from tailstock end; Allows centering and gripping of spindles or dowels at the tailstock end. For drilling drilling capability, TM32 is available separately.

Review: Awesome tool, very sturdy and holds center perfect . Couldn't be any happier with the product.
Review: Solid! Superb smooth ball races; turns incredibly freely and smoothly, with no slack whatsoever. The drill chuck is a little rough to open and close, but has no visible runout with 6" long drill chucked in it, (so maintains absolute centring). Only deficit is that the MT-2 tapered stem is slightly too short to make contact with the automatic release in the tailstock, and the end is not tapped, (as is sometimes done), to accept a short bolt or stud to make it slightly longer. I turned a little metal bead, with a stub stem to fit into the hole in the end of the stem, and glued it in place. Works perfectly. Highly recommended, and excellent value for the money. And an excellent way to create a live centre to accept turnings with a centre hole about which to turn, (in my case, spinning wheel bobbins).

### ⭐ Review
*by D***D on 18 March 2017*

Certainly not a precision chuck. There is 10 thousands runout on mine. Probably fine for a wood lathe but not for a metal lathe. It appears most of the run out is in the chuck itself so I am hoping replacing the poor quality chuck with something better will make it useable for my purposes. Buy Chinese tooling and take a chance, you might be luckier than me.
