Description
The Widin Live Centre is a heavy‑duty lathe live center designed to meet rigorous weight and load requirements while minimizing bite interference. It provides stable, concentric support for demanding turning operations, making it a reliable choice for engineers, buyers, tradespeople, hobbyists, and workshop professionals.
Morse tapers available (No. 3 and No. 6) offer versatile mounting options for a wide range of lathes, including semi high‑speed applications. The unit is sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and foreign substances, helping keep bearings clean and performance consistent. Its taper roller bearings deliver longer life, and the shaft is hardened to 58–62 HRC with a precisely controlled runout of 0.00012 inches (0.003 mm) for repeatable, accurate results.
- Heavy‑duty load handling: Built to meet demanding weight requirements, delivering stable support during tough turning jobs and reducing chatter.
- Morse tapers No. 3 & No. 6 for versatility: Flexible mounting options that fit a wide range of lathes and accommodate semi high‑speed operations.
- Protected, precise performance: Sealed bearings shield against oils and contaminants; hardened shaft and ultra‑tight runout (0.00012" / 0.003 mm) ensure durable, repeatable accuracy.
This live centre helps streamline your workflow by delivering reliable support, reducing setup tweaks, and providing consistent concentricity across multiple parts. With its robust construction and precise tolerances, you can expect longer tool life, fewer reworks, and improved overall results in everyday turning tasks.
