Description
Widin Live Centre - Half Tipped Dead Centre (LM-HN Type, No.5) is a precision center designed for turning operations. The half-tipped design minimizes bite interference to keep the workpiece centered and rotates with stable accuracy.
Available with Morse Tapers No.1 through No.7, this centre delivers exceptionally low runout: 0.00012 inches to 0.0002 inches (0.003–0.005 mm). This combination provides broad compatibility across machines while maintaining true rotation for clean cuts and consistent results.
- Half-Tipped Dead Centre design reduces bite interference: The half-tipped geometry minimizes contact at the tip, helping maintain precise centering during cuts and reducing chatter.
- Ultra-low runout for true rotation: Runout as tight as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003–0.005 mm) keeps the workpiece truly centered, delivering smoother feeds and improved surface finish.
- Versatile Morse taper compatibility (No. 1–No. 7): Fits a wide range of lathes and toolholders without adapters, enabling quick setup and secure mounting on your machines.
This combo of bite-minimizing geometry, tight runout, and broad taper compatibility helps you streamline setups, reduce scrap, and achieve reliable, repeatable results across jobs—from quick turning tasks to precision finishes. Choose No.5 for a balanced, dependable center that performs across a variety of turning operations.
