Description

The Widin Live Centre is a half-tipped dead center crafted for precise turning. Designed for the LM-HN family and offered in No.3, it provides steady, chatter-free operation with enhanced surface finish and longer tool life. It’s a reliable choice for professional workshops, production environments, and serious hobbyists seeking consistent results.

With Morse taper options from No.1 to No.7, this center fits a wide range of lathes and setups. The half-tipped design minimizes bite interference for smoother starts, while the robust construction supports repeated use under demanding conditions.

  • Half-tipped design reduces bite interference: Enables smoother starting and reduces workpiece distortion, delivering cleaner finishes and less rework.
  • Morse taper compatibility No.1–No.7: Broad compatibility across common lathes, simplifying setup and reducing the need for multiple adapters.
  • Low runout for consistent precision: Runout as tight as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003–0.005 mm) ensures true alignment and dependable, repeatable results.

This live centre helps you start every job with confidence, improves workflow efficiency, and produces dependable results across batches. Its precise runout and durable design mean fewer adjustments, longer tool life, and consistently high-quality finishes in both professional shops and DIY environments.
