DESCRIPTION
The 1 1/2 - inch Rotur drive centres are perfect for all kinds of large - scale spindle work. The centre point extends further than the prongs, enabling quick and effortless alignment. Its sharp point and prongs can easily dig into 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 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). These drive centres are crafted from high - quality EN8M Steel. Their one - piece design stops the integral points from coming loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT and are made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 1 1/2 4 Prong 2MT model is numbered 11242.
Using your Rotur drive centre is a breeze. First, select the right drive centre for your job - 2 - prong for non - square end timber and 4 - prong for squared spindle ends. Install it on your lathe. The extended centre point helps you quickly align the drive centre with the timber. Then, start your lathe and let the sharp point and prongs dig into the wood for a solid grip. When you're done, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the drive centre from the lathe. As for maintenance, keep the drive centre clean. Wipe it down after each use to prevent dust and debris build - up. Also, store it in a dry place to avoid rusting. Don't use excessive force when installing or removing it to prevent damage to the one - piece design and the integral points.
