Description
Introducing the Widin Live Centre, a high-speed rotational live center engineered for precision turning. Carbide-tipped and nut-type, it minimizes bite interference for smoother, more reliable contact at high speeds. Compatible with Morse Tapers No. 3 and No. 5, it features special No.5 bearings designed for rapid rotation and an exceptional runout of 0.00012" (0.003 mm) to deliver consistent finishes across materials and setups.
- Carbide-Tipped for Longevity and Precision: The carbide contact point resists wear and maintains stable support, reducing tool marks and rework even under demanding feeds.
- Special No.5 Bearings for High-Speed Rotation: Built to handle fast spindle speeds with minimal runout, helping you maintain concentricity and achieve cleaner finishes at production pace.
- Morse Taper No. 3 and No. 5 (Nut-Type SMBCN): Quick, secure mounting on a wide range of lathes with standard Morse taps, improving setup repeatability and ease of use across jobs.
This live center helps you streamline workflows by delivering stable, precise support for rotating workpieces, reducing setup time, and improving surface quality. The combination of a carbide tip, robust high-speed bearings, and a reliable nut-type SMBCN design makes it a dependable choice for engineers, machinists, and workshop operators who demand consistent results from first part to last.
