Description
The Widin Live Centre is a half-tipped dead center designed for turning excellence. This carbide-tipped LM-HC Type NO.2 live centre delivers stable support with minimized bite interference and ultra-low runout, helping you achieve consistent finishes even on challenging steels and alloys. Morse tapers No.1 through No.7 are available, giving you flexible mounting options for a wide range of lathes.
- Carbide-Tipped Durability: Longer life and wear resistance for demanding turning work, reducing rework and downtime while maintaining precise alignment.
- Half-Tipped Design for Reduced Bite Interference: Minimizes bite and chatter, delivering smoother engagement and better surface quality on finished parts.
- Morse Taper Compatibility (No.1–No.7) with Ultra-Low Runout: Wide machine compatibility and exceptional concentric accuracy, with runout as low as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003–0.005mm).
Whether you’re building prototypes, performing precision turning, or running steady production, this live centre keeps work centered and finishes consistent. The carbide tip stands up to tough materials, reducing the need for frequent sharpening, while the half-tipped geometry lowers contact bite for smoother operation. With broad Morse taper compatibility, it slots into your existing setup quickly, helping you cut setup time and achieve reliable results across projects.
