I was turning between centers to check and adjust my tail stock and when done saw small worn grooves on the point of the Tailstock dead center, maybe 0.020 deep right near the point. I noticed once while turning that the stock had some end play and I had to tighten it by moving the tailstock in, I thought I just failed to lock the tailstock tight enough. I had some EP grease on the point and otherwise, everything seemed fine. Is it just a crapy Dead Center or did I screw up? The Center used at the head end was 100 percent perfectly fine, and I ve used the dead center in the tail stock previously with no issue. Can I make use of the dead center or should I get a new one?
