5MT SUPER PRECISION LIVE CENTER KITS (0.0004) T.I.R. Shop'sChoice™

L0009

Specifications & Tolerances

• Complete 8-Piece Interchangeable Live Center System – Includes one precision live center body, six interchangeable center inserts, an ejecting wedge, and a durable storage case, providing exceptional versatility while eliminating the need for multiple dedicated live centers.
• Super Precision Accuracy – Precision ground body and interchangeable centers maintain a guaranteed 0.0004" Total Indicator Runout (T.I.R.), delivering exceptional concentricity, improved surface finishes, and maximum machining accuracy.
• Triple-Bearing High-Speed Construction – Heavy-duty triple-bearing design provides outstanding radial and axial load support, reducing vibration while delivering smooth, accurate performance in both CNC and manual lathe applications.
• Premium Forged Alloy Steel Construction – One-piece body and interchangeable centers are manufactured from high-quality forged alloy steel, hardened to 60 HRC, and precision ground for maximum rigidity, wear resistance, and long service life.
• High-Speed Performance – Rated for spindle speeds up to 5,000 RPM, with maximum operating speeds optimized for each Morse taper size to maintain bearing life, rigidity, and machining accuracy.
• Heavy-Duty Load Capacity – Designed to safely support workpieces up to 1,416 lbs. (depending on Morse taper size), providing the rigidity required for demanding turning operations and precision machining.
• Precision Sealed Bearing System – Premium precision bearings are protected by a heavy-duty steel/elastomer sealing system that helps prevent chips, coolant, and contaminants from entering the bearing assembly for extended service life.
• Quick-Change Interchangeable Inserts – Easily swap center styles in seconds using the included ejecting wedge, allowing one live center to perform multiple turning, facing, and specialty workholding operations while reducing setup time.
• Six Precision Center Inserts Included – The interchangeable center assortment accommodates a wide variety of standard, hollow, pipe, tubing, and specialty turning applications, increasing versatility while reducing tooling costs.
• Protective Storage Case Included – Every kit is supplied in a durable metal or high-impact storage case that keeps all components organized, protected, and readily available for efficient setup changes.

Applications

• Versatile Turning Solution – Ideal for supporting a wide variety of workpieces, including solid shafts, tubing, pipe, and custom components. The interchangeable center inserts allow one live center kit to handle multiple machining operations with a single setup.
• Reduce Setup Time & Increase Productivity – Quickly change center styles using the included ejecting wedge instead of replacing the entire live center, minimizing machine downtime and improving workflow efficiency in both production and job shop environments.
• Perfect for CNC & Manual Lathes – Designed for precision turning, facing, threading, grinding, and finishing operations where superior concentricity, rigidity, and smooth rotation are essential for producing high-quality parts.
• Improves Surface Finish & Machining Accuracy – The super precision triple-bearing design and 0.0004" T.I.R. provide exceptional workpiece support, helping reduce chatter, vibration, and tool deflection while producing tighter tolerances and superior surface finishes.
• One Kit for Countless Applications – The six interchangeable center inserts provide the flexibility to accommodate standard centers, extended reach, hollow workpieces, and specialty turning applications, eliminating the need to purchase and store multiple dedicated live centers.
