Precision MT3 Live Center for Metal Lathes and Wood Lathes

This precision MT3 live center is an essential accessory for supporting long workpieces during turning operations. Installed in the tailstock of a compatible metal or wood lathe, it provides reliable support to the end of the workpiece while reducing vibration and preventing deflection.

Equipped with precision bearings, the live center rotates together with the workpiece, minimizing friction and heat generation. This design ensures smoother operation, improved machining quality and reduced wear on both the workpiece and cutting tools.

The standard 60° point is suitable for a wide range of turning applications, including facing, longitudinal turning, threading, finishing and precision machining. It provides excellent support and stability when working with shafts, rods and other long components.

Manufactured from hardened and ground steel, this live center offers excellent wear resistance, high concentricity and long service life, making it ideal for professional workshops, maintenance departments and precision engineering applications.
