Description
The Widin Live Centre - Spanner - Half Tipped Dead Centre with Nut Type LM-FN No.1 is a precision lathe center designed to provide steady, accurate support for your turning projects. Its half-tipped nose reduces bite and chatter, helping you start cuts smoothly and maintain concentricity across operations. With Morse taper options No.1 and No.5, it’s easy to match your machine’s spindle and LM-FN nut-type mounting for a secure, reliable setup.
- Ultra-low runout and minimized bite interference: delivers exceptional concentricity with runout as low as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003–0.005 mm), reducing chatter and producing truer diameters across lengthy or delicate parts.
- Morse taper versatility for quick, secure mounting: available in standard No.1 and No.5 Morse tapers, paired with an LM-FN nut-type design for fast installation and repeatable seating in your spindle.
- Half-tipped geometry for smooth operation and reduced wear: the half-tipped nose geometry minimizes contact stress and heat buildup, supporting better surface finishes and longer center life in demanding turning applications.
Designed for engineers, machinists, hobbyists, and shop environments alike, this live centre helps you achieve reliable, repeatable results with less setup time and fewer reworks. Its precise runout, versatile taper options, and durable, user-friendly design translate to improved workflow, higher-quality finishes, and greater confidence in every job.
