Description: <br>A lathe center is a tool that has been ground to a point to accurately position a workpiece on an spindle. It has an included angle of 60°. The primary use of a center is to ensure concentric work is produced; this allows the workpiece to be transferred between machining operations without any loss of accuracy. A part may be turned in a lathe, sent off for hardening and tempering and then ground between centers in a cylindrical grinder. A center is also used to support longer workpieces where the cutting forces would deflect the work excessively, reducing the finish and accuracy of the workpiece. <br> Specifications: <br>Type: MT1 <br>Material: T10 Alloy Steel <br>Max RPM: 5,000 <br>Accuracy: 0.005mm <br>Load Capacity: 660 lb <br>Center Point: 60 degree <br>Overall Length: Approx. 11.6cm / 4.56inch <br>External Diameter: Approx. 39mm / 1.53inch <br>Weight: Approx. 360g<br> Package Includes: <br>1 x MT1 Live Center<br> Note: <br>1.
