Description

The Widin Live Centre is a heavy lathe live center with a carbide-tipped point, designed to minimize bite interference during turning. It’s built for engineers, machinists, and serious hobbyists who need dependable support, high-precision results, and long service life.
Featuring sealed bearings and a triplex bearing structure, a hardened shaft rated 58–62 HRC, and exceptionally low runout, it stands up to demanding machining tasks.

  • Carbide-tipped tip minimizes bite interference: Reduces bite during cutting, delivering smoother operation, less chatter, and longer tip life even when working tough materials.
  • Sealed, upgraded bearings with triplex design: Seals keep cutting oils and debris out while the triple-bearing arrangement provides smoother rotation and extended durability compared with standard NC types.
  • Morse taper options No. 3 and No. 6 for flexible mounting: Easily fits a wide range of lathes, ensuring quick setup and secure alignment for reliable performance.

This live centre delivers stable, precise support for your turning operations. Its combination of carbide-tipped point, sealed and reinforced bearings, and a hardened, ultra-low-runout shaft means fewer reworks, better surface finish, and consistent results across jobs—from light hobby work to demanding production turning.
