hi ,

is possible that my question be ridiculous but.....:grin-square:

what is better? 1" or 5/8" drive center for butt and shaft dowells?

1" is to large. your dowel starts at that size but after a few passes it will be smaller. Both your drive and your center must be smaller than the final size of your turning. On my shaft machine, my drive is 5/8 and my tail center is 6mm.
