I was ready to order that very same USA made center you have Ed. But after reading the one online review on the Enco site, I changed my mind.
I had a similar "flex" problem with the huge import center I have. And then the bearings in it locked up on me. I tore it apart and replaced the Chinese skate bearings with some quality bearings from Japan. But it's still a pain to get to the end of work with that massive body in the way.
Royal lists that center for $499!!!
Enco wanted $430 but after the 30% I got it for $301. I figured if the USA brand was going for close to $200 now anyway, it was almost a no-brainer.
Plus, I wanted a GOOD center for doing some barrel work anyway. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
