Crotch center

The MT2 would fit the headstock on my lathe, I can't imagine trying to drill a hole with it. My Loss.
 
The MT1 in my tailstock precludes its use there. I understood that it was meant to be stationary, just enjoying the concept of it spinning while I tried to drill a hole in it.
 
I don't use or have one. I looked at getting one in the past but after I got a mill I can't think of a good reason to use one. Are there any other advantages that I'm missing?
 
I agree Bob.
I did make mine with a clamp plate, maybe a little safer.
 
Crotch center: As I recall, everything there used to hang pretty much in the center. It might be my imagination, but seems now everything seems to hang lower, and a little to the left. I actually have one of those for my Craftsmen/atlas 12". Mike
 
In searching my vocabulary, the word "hokey" comes to mind. Only maybe would I ever use one if
there wasn't a mill or drill press at hand...

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about,
You do the crotch center and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
