Description

The Widin Live Centre is a high-speed, nut-type live center engineered for precision between centers. It supports Morse tapers No. 3 and No. 5 and is built for rapid rotation with ultra-stable centering to keep production moving in demanding turning operations.

  • Ultra-low runout for precise centering: Runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm) ensures concentric rotation at high speeds, helping you achieve accurate cuts and better finishes.
  • Nut-type design for quick, secure setup: Designed for fast engagement and repeatable workholding with minimal setup effort, saving time on every part.
  • Morse taper compatibility No. 3 & No. 5: Versatile mounting options that fit a wide range of lathes, enabling easy installation without adapters.

Designed for demanding turning tasks, this live center combines specialized bearings for high-speed rotation with a rugged construction to deliver smooth, reliable performance across real workloads. With minimal setup time, consistent centering, and superior finish quality, it helps you speed production, reduce downtime, and achieve repeatable results across a broad range of parts and speeds.
