Description
The Widin Live Centre is a high-speed live center designed for precision turning. It minimizes bite interference to deliver smoother rotation and cleaner finishes, even at elevated speeds. This makes it a reliable choice for both production runs and detailed, one-off parts.
- Ultra-low runout: Achieves runout of 0.00012" (0.003 mm), helping you maintain true alignment, maximize surface quality, and reduce part rejection at high RPMs.
- High-speed bearings: Special bearings are engineered for sustained high-speed rotation, delivering smooth operation, less heat buildup, and longer service life in demanding applications.
- Morse taper and SMB compatibility: Available in Morse Tapers No. 3 and No. 5, with SMB Type No. 5 option, offering flexible mounting to fit a wide range of lathes and spindle configurations.
Designed to boost efficiency, the Widin Live Centre keeps parts centered and stable, cutting downtime and improving consistency across cycles. Its precise performance supports faster setups, better finishes, and reliable results in both hobbyist projects and professional machining environments.
