DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are a perfect fit for all kinds of spindle work. The centre point extends further than the prongs, enabling quick and effortless alignment. The sharp point and prongs can easily dig into the timber, providing a secure hold. The 2 - prong drive centres are ideal for timber with non - square ends, while the 4 - prong ones are better for squared spindle ends, ensuring each prong penetrates the timber equally 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 - quality EN8M Steel. Their one - piece design guarantees that the integral points won't come loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT and are proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 3/8 2 Prong 1MT model is numbered 3821.
Using your Rotur drive centre is a breeze. First, choose the right type - 2 - prong for timber with non - square ends or 4 - prong for squared spindle ends. Then, insert the centre into the lathe. The extended centre point will help you quickly align it with the timber. Once aligned, the sharp point and prongs will easily grip the wood. When you're done, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the centre from the lathe. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry to prevent rust. After each use, wipe it down with a clean cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner. Store it in a safe place where it won't get damaged. And always remember to check the points regularly to make sure they haven't come loose.
