DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Hollow Rotating Centre is a top - notch tool for machining tasks. It comes with a 5/16” bore, which is perfect for long hole boring. Built upon the Rotur Standard Duty Rotating Centre, it features twin high - quality deep groove ball - bearing races. This centre is extremely useful for spindle turning, especially when there's a risk of the centre point splitting the stock. It includes a removable 60 - degree centre point for general turning operations. The set consists of a Hollow Rotating Centre, a removable nose cone that can be used as a standard rotating centre, and a 325mm long centring rod. This rod helps in aligning the centre of a workpiece when the point is removed. Machined from high - quality EN8M Steel, it's available in 1MT and 2MT. Proudly made in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. The 2MT model is designated as HRC2.
Using the Rotur Hollow Rotating Centre is easy. First, for long hole boring, take advantage of the 5/16” bore. When doing spindle turning, it'll prevent the centre point from splitting the stock. For general turning, use the removable 60 - degree centre point. If you need to line up the centre of a workpiece, remove the point and use the 325mm long centring rod. You can also use the removable nose cone as a standard rotating centre. As for maintenance, keep it clean from debris. Wipe it down after each use. Store it in a dry place to avoid rust. Make sure to check the twin high - quality deep groove ball - bearing races regularly for smooth operation. Also, since it's made of high - quality EN8M Steel, it's durable but still handle it with care to avoid any accidental damage.
