Description
Widin Live Centre combines high-speed rotation with a carbide-tipped design to provide long life and minimal bite interference in turning operations. Built for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists, this Nut Type center (SMPBCN) in No.5 fits standard Morse taps and is engineered to run smoothly at high speeds for reliable, repeatable results.
- Carbide-tipped design for longevity and minimal bite interference: Reduces bite into the workpiece and wear, delivering smoother starts and longer life in demanding turning operations.
- Extreme runout control (0.00012" / 0.003 mm): Ensures true rotation and a consistent finish, minimizing scrap and rework.
- Special high-speed bearings for durability: Upgraded bearings maintain stability at high RPM, delivering longer life and lower maintenance than standard SM-type centers.
Designed for versatile use, this live center supports No.3 and No.5 Morse taps and offers a balance of rapid rotation, precision, and rugged durability. Whether upgrading a workshop setup or equipping a production line, it helps maintain accuracy, reduce downtime, and improve overall turning performance with dependable, repeatable results.
