DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are ideal for all kinds of spindle work. Their centre point sticks out further than the prongs, enabling fast and easy alignment. With sharp points and prongs, they can effortlessly pierce the timber for a firm hold. The 2 - prong drive centres are great for timber with non - square ends, while the 4 - prong ones are better for squared spindle ends, ensuring each prong penetrates the timber evenly for maximum grip. You can easily remove these centres from the lathe using the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265). Machined from top - notch EN8M Steel, these one - piece drive centres prevent the integral points from loosening. They come in 1MT and 2MT sizes and are proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. Product code for 1 & 2 Prong 1MT: 0121.
Using your Rotur drive centre is a breeze. First, choose the right prong type depending on the end of your timber. If the ends are not square, go for the 2 - prong centre. For squared ends, the 4 - prong centre is your best bet. Then, align the centre point with the timber. Since the centre point protrudes more than the prongs, it'll help you get the alignment right quickly. Once aligned, the sharp points and prongs will dig into the timber to hold it securely. When you're done with your work, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to take the drive centre off the lathe. As for maintenance, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any sawdust or debris. You can also apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. And store it in a dry place to ensure its long - lasting performance.
