DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Deluxe Rotating Centre is an excellent choice for turning small and complex workpieces. Its main body stays fixed in the tailstock while the smaller tip rotates. With a 60 - degree tip angle and a 12mm diameter, it's perfect for small - scale precision work and general spindle turning. You'll have less risk of accidentally hitting your hands or chisels during operation. Thanks to its hardened tip and narrow body, it also serves as a great Pen Mandrel support. The triple - bearing design features a thrust race to handle high lateral forces. This rotating centre is crafted from top - quality EN8M Steel, and the tip is hardened for superior durability and strength. It's available in 1MT and 2MT sizes and is proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd.
Using the Rotur Deluxe Rotating Centre is easy. First, make sure your lathe's tailstock is clean and in good condition. Insert the main body of the centre into the tailstock and tighten it properly. For turning small and intricate work, position the workpiece against the rotating tip. When using it as a Pen Mandrel support, place the pen mandrel on the tip carefully. As you turn, keep your hands clear of the moving parts to avoid any injuries. For maintenance, regularly clean the centre with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the moving parts to keep them running smoothly. If you notice any unusual noise or resistance, stop using the centre and check for any signs of damage. And always store it in a dry place when not in use.
