The high precision CNC quad bearing live center is especially useful for grinders, CNC turning centers and manual lathes. The extended point of the live center has been optimized for high rigidity and outstanding tool clearance, the company says. It has a runout guaranteed to ± 0.00005” TIR or better.
Bearing life is said to be significantly extended with the Roto-Shield coolant slinger and upgraded, long-life, spring-loaded seal that is resistant to abrasion, high temperatures and virtually all metalworking fluids.
