Hey. Centering might be tough if you don't have the facilities to do it right. But it might work well enough to get you up and running. You can also try a stock pipe with the right ID/OD and simply slide it over. Don't forget that it needs to be coupled somehow to the driving motor and those couplers are usually smaller ID than the OD of such sleeve.
When I had to install my machine's screws I used that excuse to buy a cheap chinatown lathe ($600). Then I used that one to build a bench. And that one to buy cabinets.... etc. You know where I'm going. My wife swears all of those things are connected to each other and they wouldn't work without everything else. buah!!!
