Widin Live Centre - Half Tipped Dead Centre - Carbide Tipped - LM-HCN Type - NO.5

The Widin Live Centre - Half Tipped Dead Centre is a precision turning accessory designed to support rotating workpieces with minimal contact stress. Its carbide tipped, half-tipped tip reduces bite interference while delivering durable, dependable performance on standard lathes. Compatible with LM-HCN Type NO.5, this centre provides a stable foundation for accurate turning and smooth finishes.

Designed for a wide range of users—from engineers and machinists to hobbyists—the LM-HCN Type NO.5 centre helps you maintain concentricity, reduce heat buildup, and extend component life. Its robust construction and precise tolerances make it a reliable choice for demanding workloads, ensuring consistent results job after job.

• Ultra-low runout for true rotation: Achieves runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003mm), delivering stable support, reduced vibration, and higher precision on every pass.
• Carbide-tipped half-tipped design for durability: Carries a carbide insert that lasts longer and resists wear, while the half-tipped geometry minimizes bite interference for smoother starts and finishes.
• Morse taper options with LM-HCN Type NO.5 compatibility: Flexible mounting for common lathes (No.1–No.7 Morse tapers) and secure alignment with LM-HCN Type NO.5, enabling quick setup and repeatable results.

This live centre helps you work more efficiently by maintaining precise alignment, reducing downtime due to rework, and delivering consistently smooth finishes across a broad range of materials. Whether in production or a workshop setting, it supports your workflow with reliability and long-term performance.
