Description
Widin Live Centre is a heavy‑duty lathe accessory designed to support demanding turning tasks with high load capacity. This carbide‑tipped, NKCN Nut Type No.5 live center delivers stable, accurate performance for production work and serious hobby projects alike. It’s engineered to maintain part quality from start to finish, making it a reliable choice for engineers, machinists, and shop floor operators. Morse tapers No. 3 and No. 6 are available to fit a wide range of lathes.
Built for longevity, the unit uses sealed housing to prevent cutting oils and contaminants from entering the bearing area, while taper roller bearings extend service life under heavy use. The shaft hardness is rated 58–62 HRC and the runout is an impressively tight 0.00012 inches (0.003 mm), ensuring consistent support and minimal deviation across long runs.
- Sealed construction for oil and contaminant protection: Keeps bearings cleaner, reduces maintenance, and preserves turning accuracy by blocking cut fluids and debris from entering critical interfaces.
- Ultra-low runout for repeatable precision: Achieves 0.00012" (0.003 mm) runout for consistent part concentricity and superior surface finish, even on challenging materials.
- Carbide-tipped with NKCN Nut Type No.5 for durability: Carbide tip delivers longer life under tough cutting conditions, while the NKCN Nut Type provides rigid, stable engagement for reliable performance.
By choosing this Widin live center, you gain a dependable, low‑maintenance solution that reduces downtime, minimizes rework, and enhances overall turning quality. Its combination of carbide wear resistance, sealed protection, and precision runout helps you deliver consistent, high‑quality results across production runs and diverse projects.
