Axminster Woodturning Pro Live Centre 21mm - 2MT

The Axminster 21mm Pro Live Centre 2MT, matches the Axminster 16mm Pro Drive. Like the drive centre, it is made entirely of stainless steel and will not rust or corrode when used with green timber or left in an unheated workshop. It features a spring-loaded, stainless steel centre point. The spring tension is variable; the adjustment is simple to turn a grub screw.

The Axminster Pro Live Centre offers several advantages. With the spring-loaded point, it is easy to centre on the work. Unlike the more common conical-shaped live centre, the Pro Live Centre supports the work over a wide area; hence, the centre cannot split the work. As the live centre matches the drive, you can confidently reverse your work, repositioning in perfect realignment. This is useful if the wood grain dictates the direction of cut or is necessary to achieve a particular design. Due to the large size of the bearings, the Axminster 16mm Pro Live Centre is only available in 2MT.
