This Rotur solid 60-degree dead centre is a precision-engineered support tool designed for use on both wood and metal lathes. Made in the UK by Rotur / Planet Plus Ltd., it features a robust one-piece construction that delivers excellent rigidity, accuracy, and long-term durability.
The precision-ground 60-degree point provides very secure workholding when turning between centres. Because the centre does not rotate, it offers maximum stability and alignment, making it well suited for spindle turning, metalworking operations, and turn-between-centres pen turning setups.
Designed exclusively for lathes equipped with a Morse Taper #1, this dead centre provides consistent, dependable performance for both hobby and professional workshops.
