Carbide Tipped Dead Centres

A dead centre is used to support the workpiece at either the fixed or rotating end of the machine,. When used in the fixedposition, a dead centre produces friction between the workpiece and centre, due to the rotation of the workpiece. The tip of the centre has an insert of carbide which will reduce the friction slightly and allow for faster speeds. DIN 806 Class AT5, Carbide tipped 60° point, hardened & ground
