Revolving Centres

Revolving Centres are constructed so that the 60° centre runs in its own bearings and is used at the non-driven or tailstock end of the machine. It allows higher turning speeds without the need for separate lubrication, and also greater clamping pressures. CNC lathes use this type of centre almost exclusively and they can be used for general maching operations as well. Hardened & tempered, precision ground externally, 60° point, maximum runout 0.005mm
