Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What lathe machines is this 6mm shank live centre compatible with?
A: This revolving live centre head features a standard 6mm shank, making it compatible with most lathe machines that accept a 6mm tailstock bore. It is suitable for both benchtop hobby lathes and professional workshop lathes used for metalworking and woodworking.
Q: What is the difference between a live centre and a dead centre?
A: A live centre (also called a revolving centre) rotates along with the workpiece, significantly reducing friction and heat build-up during machining. A dead centre is fixed and does not rotate, which can cause more friction. This live centre design is ideal for higher-speed turning operations and helps preserve both the workpiece finish and the centre itself.
Q: What materials can I machine using this live centre?
A: This revolving centre head is suitable for both metalworking and woodworking applications. Its durable alloy and steel construction handles the demands of turning a wide variety of materials including aluminium, mild steel, brass, and hardwoods.
