I don;'t know if you have a rigid lathe not,but did you try cutting them with a carbide tool as I suggested?

That's how I do mine. I use my little 9x16 Southbend, never had a problem.

You can grind the point by inserting the center in the headstock using an adaptor. If your center is MT2 and the head stock is MT3 ,then install the dead center in the head stock. Hold a stone at 30° against the tool post and grind til you have a new point.
