Description

Widin Live Centre is a high-speed, carbide-tipped live center designed to support demanding turning and milling work with outstanding accuracy and long life. Built for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists alike, it provides smooth rotation and reliable centering at high RPM. Morse taper options are available in No. 3 and No. 5 to fit a wide range of machines.

At the heart of this SMP-type center are upgraded bearings engineered for high-speed rotation. These bearings deliver durability and longevity that outlast standard SM-type centers, helping you minimize downtime and keep production moving. The result is precise centering with minimal runout.

  • Low runout for precise turning: Achieves 0.00012" (0.003 mm) runout, ensuring concentric rotation and cleaner finishes even at higher speeds.
  • Carbide-tipped for extended life: The carbide tip resists wear in demanding, high-speed work, delivering longer service life and consistent performance between tool changes.
  • Morse taper options with upgraded bearings: Choose No.3 or No.5 Morse tapers to fit your lathe; paired with SMP-type bearings, this center delivers durable, stable rotation and longer life than standard centers.

This live center helps you work more efficiently by reducing vibrations, improving surface finish, and enabling faster throughput on tough jobs. With its robust bearings and carbide tip, you’ll experience reliable performance, easier setup, and fewer maintenance interruptions—so you can trust it on your most demanding turning tasks.
