Where this product is used

Maxigear lathe dead centres provide an accurate, hardened support point in the lathe tailstock for between-centres work at low to moderate cutting speeds.

• Supporting workpieces in the lathe tailstock at low speeds where lubrication can be maintained
• Turning between centres operations on centre lathes in toolroom and production environments
• Precision turning of shafts and spindles requiring accurate centre alignment at low cutting speeds

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Select the Morse Taper size matching your lathe tailstock — #2MT suits most bench lathes, #3MT suits medium centre lathes, #4MT suits larger lathes. The carbide-tipped versions provide longer service life than plain alloy steel centres when lubrication is inconsistent.
