Description
Widin Live Centre is a heavy-duty lathe live center designed for demanding turning work. With NKB type mounting and Morse tapers available, including No. 3 and No. 6 for semi-high-speed use, it minimizes bite interference to help you maintain true, stable workpieces under load.
Built for reliability in tough shop environments, this live center features a sealed design that prevents cutting oils and foreign substances from entering the bearings, reducing maintenance and extending life. The combination of taper roller bearings and a hardened shaft delivers long, consistent performance with minimal wear, even after many cycles.
- No. 3 Morse Taper (NKB Type) Mounting: Fits standard No. 3 Morse-taper spindles for solid, vibration-free support in heavy-duty turning, while minimizing bite interference to keep your workpiece true.
- Sealed for clean, semi-high-speed operation: Sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and contaminants, reducing maintenance and extending bearing life for reliable performance at No. 3 and No. 6 semi-high-speed settings.
- Precision and durability core: Taper roller bearings with a hardened shaft rated at 58–62 HRC deliver near-zero runout (0.00012 in / 0.003 mm) for repeatable, accurate results across tough jobs.
This Widin Live Centre helps you reduce setup time, minimize rework from bite interference, and maintain consistent tolerances across high-load turning. Its robust construction and protective sealing translate to fewer maintenance intervals, smoother operation, and improved overall workflow—so you can complete parts faster with confidence in every pass.
