    HI Cap, I couldn't tell for sure but your uncenter looks to be a dead as opposed to a live uncenter. I haven't thought of making one for my lathes since I rarely have a need for turning a long taper any more. I used to have a large one that fit my old Turret lathe years ago but I was making API and tapered Buttress threaded nipples I also had a constant velocity articulating internal chuck that I made from the steering knuckle of an old military 5 ton
    I like you's in its simplistic design
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
