Description

The Widin Live Centre (NO.4, HDC Type) is an economical carbide-tipped live center designed to support workpieces with reliable, precise guidance during turning. It’s an ideal choice for engineers, machinists, hobbyists, and maintenance teams who need dependable performance without a premium price.

Designed for broad compatibility, this unit uses a carbide-tipped point for longer life and consistent performance, paired with Morse tapers available in No.3 and No.6. Its C CAP rotation design helps prevent inflow of foreign substances, reducing contamination and downtime. With runout as tight as 0.00012" to 0.00024" (0.003 mm to 0.006 mm), you’ll see true running and smoother surface finishes even on challenging parts.

  • Carbide-tipped for lasting precision: The carbide tip resists wear for longer life and more consistent tolerances, minimizing part rejection and rework.
  • Ultra-low runout for true turning: Runout as low as 0.00012"–0.00024" (0.003–0.006 mm) delivers true centering and cleaner finishes.
  • Versatile Morse taper options (No.3 & No.6): Broad machine compatibility reduces setup time and the need for multiple tools in busy workshops.

With its economical design and proven precision, the Widin Live Centre helps you streamline turning operations, improve part quality, and cut downtime. The carbide tip and tight runout deliver repeatable results across a broad range of parts, while the No.3 and No.6 Morse tapers ensure quick, reliable mounting on compatible lathes. Built to endure demanding workloads, this center supports consistent performance from first cut to last and makes it easier to hit tight tolerances with confidence.
