DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are a perfect fit for all kinds of spindle work. The centre point sticks out further than the prongs, allowing for fast 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 versions are better for squared spindle ends, as each prong penetrates the timber evenly for maximum grip. You can easily remove these centres from the lathe using the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265). Machined from top - quality EN8M Steel, these one - piece drive centres ensure the integral points won't come loose. They are available in 1MT and 2MT sizes and are proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 5/8 2 Prong 1MT model has the code 5821.
Using your Rotur drive centre is easy. First, choose the right type of drive centre based on the end shape of your timber. If the timber ends are not square, go for the 2 prong version. For squared spindle ends, pick the 4 prong one. When installing it on the lathe, make sure to align the centre point properly for a good start. Once it's on, the sharp point and prongs will dig into the timber for a secure grip. To remove the drive centre from the lathe, use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265). As for maintenance, keep the drive centre clean after each use. You can use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Since it's made of high - quality EN8M Steel, with proper care, it will last you a long time.
