Description

Widin Live Centre is a heavy-duty, nut-type live center built for demanding lathe work. Carbide-tipped and NKCN type, it seals against cutting oils and contaminants to keep the center clean and accurate, and it’s available with Morse Tapers No. 3 or No. 6 to fit a wide range of machines.

  • Carbide-tipped for extended life: The carbide tip delivers superior wear resistance under heavy turning loads, providing consistent support and reducing tool changes during long runs.
  • Sealed NKCN nut-type design: A robust seal keeps cutting oils and debris out of the working interface, preserving accuracy and simplifying maintenance in tough shop environments.
  • Ultra-precise spindle with taper-roller bearings: A hard shaft (58–62 HRC) paired with proven taper-roller bearings delivers exceptionally low runout (0.00012" or 0.003 mm), ensuring stable, repeatable performance on demanding jobs.

This live center helps maintain concentricity, improve surface finish, and reduce downtime across extended machining cycles. Built for reliability in production settings, it offers predictable, consistent performance you can rely on for challenging turning operations and heavy-duty applications.
