Centers

Bull-nose centers are specialized lathe centers used to support large, hollow, or cylindrical workpieces during machining. They feature a broad, rounded tip that ensures stable and precise positioning of the workpiece. These centers are essential for accurate turning operations, particularly when working with pipe, tubing, or other large-diameter materials.

Dead centers are fixed lathe centers used to support the free end of a workpiece during machining operations. They provide a stable and precise point of contact, ensuring accurate rotation and alignment. Made from hardened steel, dead centers are essential for high-precision turning tasks in various machining applications.

Live centers are rotating lathe centers used to support the free end of a workpiece during machining operations. Equipped with bearings, they rotate with the workpiece, reducing friction and heat buildup. Live centers are essential for achieving smooth and precise turning in high-speed machining applications.
