Description

The Widin Live Centre is a half‑tipped dead centre with a carbide tip, built for precision turning and long service life. Designed for reliability in a range of materials, it supports workpieces with exceptional stability and minimal chatter, helping you achieve clean, accurate finishes from the first pass.

  • Morse Taper Compatibility (No.1–No.7): Fits standard lathe spindles without adapters, enabling quick setup and repeatable seating across machines for consistent results.
  • Minimized Bite Interference with Half-Tipped Design: The half-tipped geometry reduces bite into the workpiece, boosting surface finish quality and easing cutting forces for delicate or hard materials alike.
  • Carbide-Tipped for Long Life and Ultra-Low Runout: Carbide tip delivers extended wear resistance, while precision design achieves runout as low as 0.00012"–0.0002" (0.003–0.005 mm) for reliable, concentric turning.

This combination of compatibility, enduring tip material, and ultra‑tight runout makes the Widin Live Centre a dependable choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists alike. It supports efficient workflows, reduces rework, and helps you consistently meet tight tolerances with confidence.
