hey mac!...i would bet that the square,cone set up was conceived because this piece was originally marketed towards people who had little to no experience doing any kind of turning work...all you had to do was cut a piece of wood square, put it into the cone and it would be automatically centered and ready to be worked on...and you would also need minimal pressure from the tail stock, which is a very good thing since the entire piece is not very well made...that piece on the end is actually well designed for what it needs to do...first, it is easily removable so you can strike it into your work piece with a hammer before setting things up...second, the pins have a unique pattern so if you need to remove the piece, it would go back to it's original starting position...kind of like a self indexer idea that legacy has with it's drive plates...anyway, back in the mid-80's i used this router crafter quite a bit with excellent results...but only for milling, not turning...but much like a legacy, you need to play with it for a bit to work out all the nuances of the mill...joe
