Description

Widin Live Centre is a precision half-tipped dead center designed for accurate support during turning and finishing tasks. Built with an LM-HC type body and carbide-tipped point, it delivers durable performance under demanding shop conditions, helping you maintain concentricity and minimize chatter.

This No.4 LM-HC variant fits standard Morse tapers No.1–No.7 and features a half-tipped profile that minimizes bite interference for smoother starts and steadier rotation. Its design prioritizes reliability and long life in everyday machining work.

  • Carbide-tipped construction: Provides longer tool life and resists wear under heavy use, maintaining accurate centers over many cycles.
  • Half-tipped design minimizes bite interference: Reduces biting at startup for smoother operation and better concentricity during high-precision work.
  • Ultra-low runout with Morse-taper compatibility: Runout as low as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003 mm–0.005 mm) and compatibility with Morse tapers No.1–No.7 for reliable, repeatable results across diverse setups.

With this Widin live centre, you gain stable support that improves workflow, reduces scrap, and delivers consistent results across production runs. The carbide tip resists wear for long service life, while the half-tipped geometry and tight runout keep parts true, saving time on setup and finishing. Suitable for a wide range of turning operations, this LM-HC type center is built for everyday reliability.
