Description
Widin Live Centre is a heavy-duty live center for lathes designed to deliver stable support, precise rotation, and long service life in demanding turning tasks. Built for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists alike, it uses a carbide-tipped point and NKBCN nut-type body to minimize bite interference while maintaining accurate work over extended use.
- Carbide-Tipped NKBCN No.5 Nut-Type Live Centre: The carbide tip delivers durable, consistent point contact and helps maintain accuracy under heavy cutting loads, reducing wear and rework.
- Sealed Morse Taper Options No. 3 & No. 6: The sealed construction prevents inflow of cutting oils and contaminants, lowering maintenance needs and extending the center's life.
- Triplex Bearings with Hardened Shaft: Upgraded three-bearing arrangement delivers high rotational accuracy and durability, with the shaft hardened to 58–62 HRC and runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm).
With the Widin Live Centre, you gain reliable support, reduced maintenance, and precise, consistent results in every turning job. The combination of carbide tipping, sealed design, and precision bearings provides dependable performance from first cut to final finish, helping you achieve better tolerances and smoother surfaces with fewer adjustments.
