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 simple alignment. With sharp points and prongs, they can effortlessly pierce the timber, providing a firm hold. The 2 - prong drive centres are great for timber with non - square ends, while the 4 - prong ones are more suitable 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). These drive centres are crafted from top - notch EN8M Steel. Their one - piece design guarantees that the integral points won't come loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT and are made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 4 - prong 2MT model is numbered 0142.
Using the Rotur drive centre is quite straightforward. First, select the right type - 2 - prong for timber with non - square ends and 4 - prong for squared spindle ends. Place the drive centre in the lathe. The centre point will help you quickly align it. Then, start the lathe and let the sharp points and prongs dig into the timber for a secure hold. When you're done with your work, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the drive centre from the lathe. As for maintenance, keep the drive centre clean. After each use, wipe it down to remove any sawdust or debris. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent rust. And be careful when handling it, as the points are sharp and can cause injury.
