This standard duty rotating 60-degree live centre is a dependable, general-purpose support tool for woodturning lathes equipped with a Morse Taper #2. Made in the UK by Rotur / Planet Plus Ltd., it is designed to deliver smooth operation, accuracy, and long service life for everyday turning tasks.
The 31 mm diameter head with a precision 60-degree point provides stable, reliable support while allowing the workpiece to rotate freely. Twin deep-groove ball races ensure excellent stability, smooth rotation, and long-term durability. This makes it an excellent choice for spindle turning, furniture components, tool handles, and other projects turned between centres.
Designed exclusively for lathes with an MT2 tailstock, this live centre offers consistent performance for both hobbyists and experienced turners.
What lathe will this fit?
This rotating centre is designed to fit lathes with a Morse Taper #2 (MT2) tailstock only.
