I'm not going to be in Philly for a while, so I thought I'd mail-order a coupld of small items,

I got meself a steb centre, as I had one on my old lathe, and like it, a 60º live centre as mine has jammed up, and a diamond parting tool, to avoid the few times I have burned stuff when parting larger turnings.

The old 60º live centre I had got some rust on it due to condensation in winter storage, and I dipped in Evaporust, which took the rust off nicely, but some got into the bearings I guess, and it jammed up on me. I'll take it apart later and see if I can fix it.

Thanks! I'll have to take a look if I'm up there some time when I have my truck with me. I usually take the train.
While they don't carry everything PSI has, they will order it for you. They do mail order as well, but it really is worth a personal visit.

One of the owners (Peter Steenwick) has incorporated his other business (Artistic Woods) into this business. More pen blanks and exotic woods than what you can imagine!
