DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are ideal for all kinds of spindle work. The centre point extends further than the prongs, enabling quick and effortless alignment. With sharp points and prongs, they can easily pierce the timber for a firm hold. The 2-prong drive centres are perfect for timber with non-square ends, while the 4-prong versions 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 high-quality EN8M steel. Their one-piece design prevents the integral points from coming loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT sizes and are proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 3/8 2 Prong 2MT model is numbered 3822.
Using your Rotur drive centre is easy. First, choose the right type - 2-prong for non-square end timber and 4-prong for squared spindle ends. Place the centre on the lathe, aligning it with the timber. The centre point will help you get a quick and easy alignment. Once in place, the sharp points and prongs will grip the timber securely. When you're done with your work, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the centre from the lathe. As for maintenance, keep the drive centre clean. After use, wipe it down to remove any wood chips or debris. Since it's made of high - quality EN8M steel, it's durable, but avoid using excessive force that could damage the points. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
