6" Bull Nose Live Center — MT3 Arbor, 5-29/32" (150 mm) Diameter, 75°
Secure large hollow or thin-walled parts for turning with a broad 150 mm bull nose that reduces deformation and improves concentric support. Designed for MT3 spindles and medium-to-heavy turning tasks. ⚙️
Key Features
- Large bull nose: 5-29/32" × (150 mm) diameter for broad contact with hollow workpieces.
- 75° nose angle: Stable support across the contact surface.
- Standard taper: Morse Taper #3 (MT3) arbor for compatible lathe spindles.
- Smooth rotation: Triple ball bearing design reduces runout and friction under load.
- Durable shaft: Alloy steel, heat treated to Rc 60–62.
- Sealed construction: Dust- and liquid-proof seals help extend bearing life. 🛡️
This live center supports pipes, tubes and parts with large center holes where a pointed center would deform or fail. Install into any matching MT3 spindle for controlled, low-friction support during turning operations.
