DESCRIPTION
The Rotur drive centres are an excellent choice for all kinds of spindle work. The centre point sticks out more than the prongs, making alignment fast and simple. Its sharp point and prongs 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 better for squared spindle ends, as each prong penetrates the timber equally for maximum grip. You can easily take these centres off the lathe using the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265). Machined from top - notch EN8M Steel, the 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 5/8 2 Prong 2MT model is identified as 5822.
Using your Rotur drive centre is easy. First, make sure your lathe is turned off. Choose the right type of drive centre - the 2 - prong for timber with non - square ends and the 4 - prong for squared spindle ends. Place the centre on the lathe and align it properly. The centre point will help you with quick alignment. When you start the lathe, the sharp point and prongs will dig into the timber for a good grip. After use, turn off the lathe and use the Rotur knockout bar (TKO265) to remove the drive centre. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid using it on extremely hard materials that could damage the points or prongs.
