Will hold a stem securely and on center for turning with a live center securing it. A lathe and live center are needed.

Self Centering
Width of button that will fit: .80 inches to .50 inches / 20 mm to 13 mm
Dimensions:
Shaft diameter: .48 inches / 12 mm
Length: 1.70 inches / 43 mm
Premal's Tips:
1. Soften the edges of the u slots with 220 grit sandpaper if there is not enough area on the button to be able to remove a little. The u slots will indent the edges of the button a little.
2. Heat area of button on stem to return it to shape. (Be careful not to burn)
3. Place the button end in first to the clamp before securing the live center. This will allow for a easier self centering of the stem.

Excellent little tool
Very helpful for repairing existing stems, or fitting them to a different pipe. I don't use molded stems often, but when I do, this little tool is indispensable. Worth its weight in gold for the convenience it offers.

Perfect tool for repairing stems

Great addition to my wood lathe.
This is a must have if you do not have a metal lathe. There will be times where you will want to turn a stem for any number of reasons, this helps to get the maximum portion of the stem truly centered and stable for turning/sanding/etc.
