DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are an excellent choice for all kinds of spindle work. The centre point extends beyond the prongs, enabling fast and simple alignment. Its sharp point and prongs can effortlessly pierce the timber, providing a firm hold. The 2 - prong drive centres are ideal for timber with non - square ends, while the 4 - prong versions are better for squared spindle ends, ensuring equal penetration of each prong into the timber for maximum grip. You can easily remove these centres from the lathe using the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265). These drive centres are crafted from top - notch EN8M Steel. Their one - piece design prevents the integral points from coming loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT and are proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. Product code for 2 Prong 2MT: 0122.
Using the Rotur drive centre is easy. First, choose the right type of drive centre based on your timber's end shape - 2 - prong for non - square ends and 4 - prong for squared ends. Then, align the centre point with the timber, as it extends further for quick alignment. Press it onto the timber, and the sharp point and prongs will penetrate easily. When you're done with your work, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the drive centre from the lathe. For maintenance, keep the drive centre clean and dry. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down after each use. Avoid exposing it to moisture or harsh chemicals, as this could damage the high - quality EN8M steel. Store it in a dry place to ensure its long - term performance.
