A question for every #machinist more skilled than me (just to avoid to write "all").

To support parts that have to be rotated wouldn't be better to have a machinist #jack with a rollers head, like photo 2, rather than with a flat head, like photo 1, which moves every time the part is turned?

Feel free to steal the idea if it's good!
