DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Heavy - Duty Rotating Centre is an excellent choice for heavy - duty turning operations. It has a 36mm diameter head with a 60 - degree sharp point, which can effortlessly pierce through timber, providing a super - secure hold. Thanks to its triple - bearing design with a large thrust race, this centre rotates smoothly even under high loads and at high speeds. Crafted from top - quality EN8M steel, it's built to last. It's available in 1MT and 2MT sizes and is proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 2MT model is coded as HD2.
Using the Rotur Heavy - Duty Rotating Centre is quite simple. First, make sure your lathe is turned off. Then, insert the centre into the appropriate spindle of your lathe according to its size (1MT or 2MT). When you start your turning work, place the timber against the sharp 60 - degree point. The centre will rotate smoothly with the timber under high loads and speeds. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the centre clean to remove any sawdust or debris. You can use a dry cloth or a soft brush. If you notice any signs of wear or if the rotation becomes less smooth, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Remember to always follow basic safety precautions when using the lathe and this centre, like wearing safety goggles and keeping your hands clear of moving parts.
