Description
The Widin Live Centre is a Half Tipped Dead Centre designed for precision turning, featuring a carbide tipped tip and the LM-HCN Type No.3. This setup is ideal for engineers, machinists, hobbyists, and buyers who demand steady support, minimal deviation, and reliable performance during turning operations. The half-tipped design reduces bite interference, helping you achieve smoother engagement and more consistent results from part to part.
- Half-Tipped design minimizes bite interference: Reduces chatter and deflection at engagement, delivering steadier workholding and cleaner starts for predictable results.
- Ultra-low runout for precise centering: Runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm) ensures true alignment, better surface finish, and fewer rejected parts.
- Carbide-tipped durability with MT compatibility: The carbide tip stands up to hard materials and long production runs, while the LM-HCN Type design supports Morse Tapers No. 1 and No. 7 for broad machine compatibility.
This live centre is built to improve workflow with consistent centering, reduced downtime, and longer service life from the carbide tip. It helps you maintain precision across jobs, shorten setup times, and deliver reliable, high-quality finishes on demanding turning applications.
