Live Centers for Intermittent Use
These light duty centers are for intermittent use on manual lathes. Use live centers in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. With bearings to support their free-turning point, they produce minimal friction between the center and workpiece. For increased tool life, the bearings are lubricated and sealed to protect against fluid and chips.

Live Centers for Continuous Use
A hardened body and point provide the extra strength and wear resistance necessary for continuous use on manual or CNC lathes. Use live centers in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. With bearings to support their free-turning point, they produce minimal friction between the center and workpiece. For increased tool life, the bearings are lubricated and sealed to protect against fluid and chips.

Pipe and Tubing Live Centers
Also known as bull-nose centers, these have a wide head to hold pipe and large-diameter tubing. Use live centers in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. With bearings to support their free-turning point, they produce minimal friction between the center and workpiece.

Dead Centers
Dead centers are one solid piece. Use them in the headstock when machining between centers or in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece when friction is not a concern.
Carbide-tipped hardened steel dead centers have better wear resistance than hardened steel dead centers.
