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 for maximum strength, accuracy, and long-term reliability.
The precision-ground 60-degree point provides extremely secure workholding when turning between centres. Unlike a live centre, this dead centre remains stationary, making it well suited for applications where absolute rigidity and alignment are required. It’s an excellent choice for spindle turning, metalworking operations, and turn-between-centres pen turning setups.
Designed exclusively for lathes equipped with a Morse Taper #2, this dead centre delivers consistent, dependable performance in both hobby and professional shops.
What lathe will this fit?
This dead centre is designed to fit lathes with a Morse Taper #2 (MT2) tailstock only.
What is a dead centre used for?
A dead centre supports the workpiece from the tailstock or headstock without rotating. It provides extremely rigid, accurate support and is commonly used for turning between centres, metalworking operations, and pen turning setups where precise alignment and secure holding are critical.
