Description

The Widin Live Centre is an economical, high-durability live center designed to support rotating work in lathes and turning setups. Built for a wide range of applications, this HD-type center delivers steady support, smooth rotation, and consistent performance that both professionals and hobbyists can rely on.

Designed for versatility with Morse taper compatibility (No. 1 to No. 6) and a cap-rotation design that helps prevent the ingress of dirt and coolant, it keeps bearings protected and running true in demanding workshop environments. Its tight runout specification — 0.00012" to 0.00024" (0.003–0.006 mm) — provides stable, accurate support for precision machining.

  • Economical HD construction: Delivers reliable performance with durable materials and precise machining, helping you extend service life while keeping overall tool costs lower over time.
  • Cap rotation design protects the bearing area: Prevents inflow of contaminants such as dust and coolant, reducing wear and maintaining accuracy for longer production runs.
  • Precise, low runout: Achieves runout as tight as 0.00012"–0.00024" (0.003–0.006 mm), delivering stable support for fine finishes and consistent part tolerances.

With the Widin Live Centre, you gain dependable center support that enhances machining accuracy, reduces setup time, and lowers maintenance costs. Its combination of economical build, contaminant protection, and exceptional runout stability translates into smoother operations, fewer rework cycles, and a more efficient workflow across a broad range of turning tasks.
