It's Murphy law, on the slippage. It always works fine until the last cut :-). The double locking collar is only available from Legacy. http://legacywoodworking.com/products.cfm?product=82 . Here's the catch 22. We don't own lathes. If you pound the drive center in the MT at least you will have a frozen center. At worst you can deform the spindle, hammering only knocks things out of whack. The double locking collar pinches the drive center and holds it in place so only seating the drive center is required. It also ads a method of indexing the work. This is shown in the pilaster class I believe. You can rotate a piece square for example. It's a must have in my book.
