Description
Widin Live Centre is a high-speed rotational live center designed for precision turning. It minimizes bite interference to provide smoother support for challenging workpieces and deliver cleaner finishes at speed. Compatible with SMBN nut type and available with Morse Taper options No. 3 or No. 5, this center is built for quick setup, strong endurance, and dependable accuracy.
Its ultra-low runout—0.00012 inches (0.003 mm)—keeps the work truly concentric at high speeds, delivering consistent tolerances and superior surface finishes. With Morse Tapers No. 3 and No. 5 options and SMBN nut-type compatibility, it installs quickly and provides secure, repeatable workholding across a range of machines.
- Ultra-Low Runout for Precision: Maintains true alignment at high speeds with runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm), delivering consistent tolerances and superior surface finishes.
- High-Speed, Smooth Rotation: Special bearings designed for high-speed rotation minimize vibration and bite interference, enabling stable, chatter-free turning even at demanding RPMs.
- Versatile SMBN Nut Type with No.3/No.5 Morse Tapers: SMBN nut-type design offers repeatable clamping and quick setup, compatible with common spindle Morse taps No. 3 and No. 5 for broad machine compatibility.
This live centre helps you maintain concentricity and finish quality while cutting setup time and minimizing rework. Built for durability in busy shop environments, it delivers reliable performance turn after turn, so you can trust it for high-speed turning tasks, delicate components, and demanding production runs.
