Actually, the attached center is superfluous. Simply take a rod, point it on one end and center drill it on the other end. Then the center drilled end can be placed on the tailstock center and the rod used as shown in the video.

It's not uncommon, and why long standardized methods work, decades prove them. I probably need a replacement, gave last one away quite some time back.Originally Posted by Cascao
We did them slightly different. Tail end was center drilled for a ball shaped rod protruding from a drill chuck. Pointed end was spring loaded slip fit, worked great keeping the point in punch mark.
Yours is simpler, and no parts to keep track of.
Sincerely,
