Description
Widin Live Centre is a heavy-duty, weight-rated live center for lathes, designed to deliver stable support during high-load turning. Featuring a carbide-tipped contact and a nut-type NKD configuration, it provides reliable performance across a range of materials and speeds, making it suitable for engineers, tradespeople, and hobbyists who demand consistent center support and long service life.
Available with Morse Tapers No. 3 and No. 6, the unit is sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and foreign substances. It offers longer life thanks to taper-roller bearings, and the shaft is hardened to 58-62 HRC with a precision runout of 0.00012 inches (0.003 mm), ensuring true alignment and smooth operation under demanding conditions.
- Carbide-tipped contact for durability and precision: The carbide point resists wear for longer life and maintains accurate centering, yielding cleaner finishes and less downtime during tough turning jobs.
- Sealed NKD nut-type housing with taper-roller bearings: Sealed to keep cutting oils and debris out, this design reduces maintenance needs and delivers reliable, smooth rotation even in demanding workshop environments.
- Ultra-precise, hardened shaft with minimal runout: Hardened to 58-62 HRC and a runout of 0.00012 inches (0.003 mm) ensure true alignment and stable performance, minimizing vibration and improving surface finish.
With these features, the Widin Live Centre helps you speed up setups, reduce rework from misalignment, and deliver consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of materials. Its durable construction and precise engineering provide dependable performance day in and day out, making it a solid choice for professional shops and serious hobbyists alike.
