Description

The Widin Live Centre is a carbide-tipped, nut-type live center designed for NC standard lathes. Sized No.5, it provides reliable center support to keep your workpiece aligned during turning, reducing chatter and improving finish. Its carbide tip minimizes bite interference, helping you start cuts smoothly and maintain consistent results.

Its carbide tip minimizes bite interference, helping you start cuts smoothly and maintain consistent results.

  • Carbide-tipped design minimizes bite interference: Reduces bite during engagement, enabling smoother starts and a cleaner finish on a wide range of materials.
  • Ultra-low runout with triplex bearing and hardened shaft: Delivers precise rotational accuracy and long-term durability, with runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm) and a shaft hardened to 58–62 HRC.
  • Sealed housing and Morse taper versatility: Sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and contaminants, with No. 3 and No. 6 Morse tapers available for flexible mounting on NC standard lathes.

When you install the Widin Live Centre in your NC standard lathe, you gain a stable, reliable center that minimizes bite interference, reduces scrap, and improves finish quality. The sealed design lowers maintenance, while the low runout and hardened shaft improve overall productivity by keeping parts concentric and reducing rework. The No. 3 and No. 6 Morse taper options provide flexible mounting across a broad range of lathes, making this center a dependable choice for demanding turning applications.
