SUMMIT REVOLVING CENTER

The Summit Revolving Center (Live Center) is a precision lathe accessory used to support rotating workpieces during machining operations. Unlike dead centers, it rotates along with the workpiece using built-in precision bearings, which reduces friction, heat generation, and wear.

It is manufactured from high-grade hardened alloy steel and is accurately ground to maintain a 60° point angle, ensuring proper centering and alignment. These centers are widely used in both manual lathes and CNC machines for smooth and efficient machining.

Where to Use

  • Lathe Machines: Supporting rotating shafts and components
  • CNC Turning Centers: High-speed precision machining
  • Grinding Machines: Accurate alignment and finishing
  • Automotive Industry: Shaft and cylindrical part machining
  • Tool Rooms & Production: Continuous operations

Key Features
