Description
Widin Live Centre, Economical - Minimized Body For Less Interference, HDSTH Type - No.3 x 8, is a carbide-tipped live center built for turning operations. Its minimized body design reduces bite interference, helping you achieve smoother cuts and cleaner finishes across a variety of materials. This economical solution suits engineers, shops, hobbyists, and buyers who want dependable performance without a premium price.
Designed for broad compatibility, this HDSTH-type live center accepts Morse tapers and is available in No. 3 to No. 6 sizes. The No. 3 x 8 specification fits a wide range of lathes, making it a versatile choice for everyday machining tasks and more demanding applications.
- Economical, minimized body for less bite interference: A compact body design reduces contact with the workpiece, promoting smoother passes, less chatter, and a cleaner finish without sacrificing reliability.
- Carbide tipped with HDSTH Type compatibility: Carbide tipping delivers longer tool life and stable performance, while compatibility with common Morse tapers ensures easy mounting on standard machines.
- Cap rotation design with ultra-low runout: The cap-rotation feature helps prevent ingress of foreign substances, and the runout of 0.00012"–0.00024" (0.003–0.006 mm) supports precise, repeatable turning results.
This Widin Live Centre is a practical, low-maintenance choice for a wide range of turning tasks. By combining a compact, durable body with a sharp carbide tip and a design that minimizes interference and contamination, it helps you improve workflow efficiency, reduce rework, and achieve consistent, high-quality results across projects.
