DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Solid Dead Centre is an outstanding precision engineering tool perfect for both wood and metal lathes. Its one - piece construction combined with a 60 - degree point offers extremely secure workholding. This dead centre is also ideal for TBC pen turning (turn between centres). The 1MT specification is identified as SC1, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance in your machining operations.
Using the Rotur Solid Dead Centre is quite straightforward. First, make sure your lathe is turned off. Then, insert the dead centre into the appropriate holder on your wood or metal lathe. Once it's securely in place, you can start your turning project, whether it's a pen or other turning - between - centres jobs. As for precautions, always wear safety goggles and other necessary protective equipment when using the lathe. Avoid applying excessive force as it might damage the 60 - degree point of the dead centre. To maintain the dead centre, after each use, clean it with a soft cloth to remove any debris or chips. You can also apply a light coat of machine oil to prevent rusting, which will keep it in good condition for a long time.
