High-grade carbon steel construction Built from durable carbon steel to resist wear under repeated use, delivering a long service life for demanding turning work. Exceptional accuracy Precision runout of 0.000197 inch supports meticulous machining and tight tolerances on both manual lathes and CNC equipment, reducing rework and improving part consistency. Smooth, balanced operation Advanced ball-bearing design provides stable rotation and low vibration during turning operations, improving surface finish and extending tool life. Easy, safe handling Machined components operate smoothly without burrs, making setup and handling straightforward for both beginners and experienced machinists. Why you need it Reduces runout and vibration so finished parts meet dimensional requirements more reliably. Durable materials and bearing construction lower maintenance needs and downtime. Smooth operation simplifies alignment and improves repeatability across production runs. Compatibility and function Designed for use as a live center on lathes and CNC machines. Functions as a rotating tailstock support to carry workpieces, maintain concentricity, and enable higher spindle speeds with less deflection. Practical applications Precision shaft turning: maintain concentricity when turning small-diameter shafts or stepped shafts to tight tolerances. Finish turning and profiling: produce consistent surface finishes on housings, collars, and precision components where low runout is critical. Production or prototype runs on CNC lathes: support workpieces at higher speeds while preserving dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Who it’s for Machinists, toolroom technicians, and hobbyists who require reliable, accurate tailstock support for repeatable turning work. Notes Material: high-grade carbon steel. Accuracy: 0.000197 inch runout. Bearing: advanced ball-bearing live center for balanced rotation and smooth operation.
