Description

The Widin Live Centre - Economical - Carbide Tipped - HDC Type (No.5) is a precision live center designed for turning centers. Its carbide tip and robust construction provide stable support, accurate results, and smooth rotation, all at a practical price.

Designed for engineers, machinists, hobbyists, and shop operators, this center supports Morse tapers No.3 and No.6, offering versatile mounting across a range of machines. The CAP rotation design helps prevent the inflow of foreign substances, protecting bearings and extending service life.

  • Low runout for precise turning: Delivers exceptionally small runout (0.00012"–0.00024" / 0.003mm–0.006mm) to maximize concentricity and give you clean, accurate finishes.
  • Carbide-tipped for durability: Hardened carbide tip provides long wear life and consistent accuracy under demanding turning tasks, reducing replacement and downtime.
  • Debris-resistant CAP rotation and taper versatility: CAP design minimizes debris ingress, protecting the center’s bearings, while supporting No.3 and No.6 Morse tapers for flexible machine compatibility.

This live center helps you streamline workflows with reliable, repeatable centering, cut down rework, and fewer maintenance interruptions. The combination of a carbide tip, very low runout, and a debris-preventing design makes it a dependable choice for professional shops and serious hobbyists alike, enabling smoother operations and dependable results across a wide range of turning applications.
