Description
Widin Live Centre is a heavy‑duty live centre for lathes and turning centers, designed to support rotating workpieces with minimal bite interference. It’s built for engineers, machinists, and workshop enthusiasts who demand dependable center support for high‑volume or precision turning tasks.
This NKBN No.5 nut‑type live centre is engineered for durability and precision. It accepts Morse taps No. 3 through No. 6 for broad machine compatibility, features a sealed design to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and foreign substances, and uses taper roller bearings to extend service life. The shaft is hardened to 58–62 HRC and delivers an ultra‑low run‑out of 0.00012 inches (0.003 mm), ensuring steady workholding and consistent finishes on demanding parts.
- No. 3–No. 6 Morse Tapers: Broad compatibility with a range of lathes and turning centers, allowing secure seating and reliable performance without adapters.
- Sealed housing to resist oils and contaminants: Keeps cutting fluids and foreign matter out of the center, reducing maintenance and extending life in harsh shop conditions.
- Ultra‑low run‑out with taper‑roller bearings: Delivers precise, repeatable turns with a hardened shaft (58–62 HRC) and run‑out of 0.00012" (0.003 mm) for superior finish and accuracy.
With its robust construction, sealed design, and tight tolerances, the Widin Live Centre helps you maintain concentric workpieces, reduces setup time, and improves overall workflow and results. A reliable choice for shops that demand consistent performance under demanding workloads.
