    Bull-Nose Point

    Keep your workpiece spinning while staying supported when machining. These live centers spin with your piece to reduce friction between their point and your material. For smooth rotation, these centers turn on lubricated bearings. The bearings are enclosed to protect against chips and liquid. With a hardened body and point for extra strength and wear resistance, these live centers will hold up, use after use. Use them in the tailstock with manual or CNC lathes.
    Bull-Nose Point—Bull-nose point centers have a wide head to hold large-diameter hollow pipe and tubing. Choose an 80° point angle for more contact area and less vibration than a 60° point angle.
    Total Indicated Runout (TIR) Accuracy—TIR (total indicated runout) is a measure of rotational smoothness—the lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have and the more accurate it will be.
