    Hi Cap, I like your uncenter and the name is descriptive.
    I am also reluctant to disturb a nicely set up tailstock, this would save a lot of time and frustration.
    As a point of interest I have understood that to get the best result from offset centers they should be ball ended and not coned, or a female centre with a ball bearing in between, any thoughts anyone.
