The LTC (Live Tail Center) Cup with 1-1/2 inchd Diameter x 1-1/2 inch Plug.
LTC-1 is for lathes with a #1 Morse taper. They have a 1-1/4 inch diameter by 1 inch deep cup. The 2X is for lathes with a #2 Morse Taper and has a 1-1/2 inch diameter by one inch deep cup. The LTC-3 is for lathes with a #3 Morse Taper, and also has a 1-1/2 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inch deep cup.
They have improved their LTC series again. For Heavy duty or rough service they now offer a model with a metal shield protecting the rubber bearing seal in the back of the unit. The cost to the customer is an extra $15.00. They say that they have never had a failed seal or bearing so far, but they thought the shield would provide extra protection in industrial service.

The TCC is an adapter to fit the standard ¾-10
threaded
end of the Oneway live tail
center. It is intended for use by
owners of Oneway
lathes who received
a live tail center with their lathe,
and for those turners who already use a Oneway live tail center, purchased separately.
For Oneway
live center details see the website

The big advantage of this tool, shown on the left side of the photo in front
of the Oneway
tool on the
right, is its lower price of
$35.00, including shipping within
the continental USA, and with a 1-1/2-inch
Diameter x 1-1/2-inch wooden
plug as shown.
A small part of the inside of the cup
is
lightly knurled, to help hold the plugs.
