Description

The Widin Live Centre is a full-tipped dead center designed for precise turning on lathes. It provides steady, true center support for long workpieces, helping to minimize deflection and deliver smoother finishes during high-speed operation.

Sized for LM-A Morse taps and designated as No.2, this unit is built for durable, reliable performance with quick, secure mounting on standard spindle setups. Its exacting runout specifications support repeatable results across a range of turning tasks.

  • Ultra-low runout for true concentricity: Precision runout of 0.00012" to 0.0002" (0.003mm–0.005mm) ensures consistent centering and smoother surface finishes.
  • Full-tipped design for better contact and longer tip life: The full-tipped point distributes load more evenly, reducing wear and chatter for steadier performance and longer service life.
  • Broad Morse taper compatibility (No.1–No.7): Flexible mounting across a wide range of lathes, making setup quick and enabling use on multiple machines without changing centers.

With its precise runout, robust construction, and versatile taper compatibility, the Widin Live Centre helps you achieve higher-quality turns, reduce rework, and maintain consistent results across demanding turning applications—from small production runs to shop-floor prototyping.
