Description
Widin Live Centre - Carbide Tipped is a precision live center for CNC lathes designed to support rotating workpieces with exceptional stability and concentricity. It’s built for machinists, engineers, and workshop teams who rely on consistent, repeatable turns and a clean cutting environment. The carbide-tipped point provides enduring wear resistance, helping you achieve smooth starts and steady rotation even after many cycles.
Engineered for durability in demanding turning operations, this NCBC Type NO.3 live center features a triplex-bearing structure that minimizes runout and enhances rotational accuracy. The shaft is heat-treated to HRc58-62 for improved hardness and long life, while the design helps prevent the inflow of cutting oil and foreign substances, keeping the bearing area clean for reliable performance. With runout as low as 0.003 mm, you can count on precise workpieces from setup to finish.
- Triplex Bearing Structure for Precision and Durability: This design provides high-precision rotation and long-term durability, reducing runout and delivering repeatable results.
- Carbide-Tipped Point with Minimal Bite Interference: The carbide tip offers wear resistance while minimizing bite interference, delivering smoother starts and stable contact during cuts.
- Oil and Debris Ingress Prevention (NCBC Type NO.3): Sealed design blocks cutting oil and foreign substances from entering the bearing area, helping extend service life and maintain performance in harsh environments.
By choosing the Widin Live Centre, you gain reliable, stable turning with tight tolerances and less downtime. The combination of carbide-tipped durability, precise rotation, and oil/debris protection translates into consistent results, reduced rework, and a longer-lasting setup—supporting better throughput and overall production reliability.
