Description

The Widin Live Centre is an economical, HDSTH-type live center designed for turning operations where precision, reliability, and clean workflow matter. Its minimized body reduces bite interference, helping you achieve smoother rotation and better surface finishes, while the carbide-tipped point delivers long-lasting performance.

With Morse taper options including No. 3 and No. 6, this center supports a wide range of machines and applications. The cap-rotation design helps prevent the inflow of foreign substances, and the ultra-tight runout specification—0.00012" / 0.00024" (0.003 mm / 0.006 mm)—ensures consistent centering across long runs.

  • Minimized body for less bite interference: A compact housing reduces contact with the workpiece, minimizing bite and vibration for smoother operation and improved surface finish.
  • Carbide-tipped for durability and precision: Hardened carbide tip resists wear, maintains sharpness, and supports repeatable centering across demanding workloads.
  • Contamination-resistant cap-rotation with ultra-tight runout: Cap-rotation design helps keep foreign substances out of the spindle while delivering precise runout for reliable, repeatable results.

Designed to fit a broad range of lathes and applications, the Widin Live Centre helps you speed up setups, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent, high-quality finishes. Its economical price is paired with proven reliability, making it a confident choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists alike.
