You can spin down TREES on those old cast iron lathes.

Just be sure you fasten it down good, I have about 75 pounds of sand bags on the bottom shelf of my lathe bench to soften the vibration.

I have the larger drive center that came with my lathe and I got a smaller maybe 1/2 or 5/8 dia one so I can turn down tot eh ends of my blanks with a skew chisel.
