Version:
Point angle 60°, surfaces ground.
Full point with deep inserted carbide centre.
The carbide tipped lathe centres are marked with a groove to indicate maximum regrinding allowance.
Description:
Lathe centres are mainly used on lathes to support long and slim workpieces, since with these workpieces there would otherwise be a risk of the workpiece bending or moving around as a result of the forces generated.
The lathe centre is secured with a Morse taper. The workpiece is clamped in the chuck and a counterbore is added using a centre drill. After re-clamping, the lathe centre is then inserted.
Standard:
