Precision centring tips for stable turning and grinding
Centring tips, also known as centre points, are precision tools designed to support long, slender workpieces on lathes and cylindrical grinders to maintain exact alignment with the axis of rotation and prevent deflection or vibration. Used in the tailstock or spindle via a Morse taper, they engage a prepared centre hole to provide form-fit axial guidance and radial support, ensuring superior surface finish and adherence to tight form, position and runout tolerances while machining hardened and softer materials. Available as solid centre points with hardmetal inserts for maximum rigidity and runout accuracy and rotating centre points with precision bearings to eliminate frictional heat and wear, these solutions suit both high-precision grinding and high-productivity CNC turning. The correct choice improves process stability, extends tool life and enables higher cutting speeds with consistent part quality.

The TECWERK rotating live centre is intended as axial support for turning operations on lathes and is compatible with conventional workpiece materials where a 60° seating is appropriate; the technical data such as runout ≤ 0.005 mm and 800 kg load rating guide machine selection. How does the runout specification affect machining quality? A low runout value (0.005 mm) on the rotating centre reduces concentricity errors during turning; when the TECWERK centre is used, parts typically exhibit improved diameter consistency and surface finish, which lowers scrap rates. Is the shank compatible with standard tailstocks? Yes, the shank execution is MT4, making the unit compatible with tailstocks and live‑centre adaptors designed for Morse taper 4 interfaces without further modification. Can the centre be used at high spindle speeds? The component is rated for a maximum of 2,700 rpm; operating within this limit maintains the specified accuracy and service life for the TECWERK rotating live centre. What are the dimensional considerations for setup? Key dimensions to verify during setup include the projection (102.5 mm), housing diameter (70 mm) and shaft diameter (31.267 mm) to ensure correct seating and clearance in the lathe tailstock and any workholding fixtures.

High-performance centring points for precise turning and grinding
Centring points are precision tools designed to support long, slender workpieces on lathes and cylindrical grinding machines, keeping the component exactly on the rotational axis. By engaging a prepared centre hole and locating via a Morse taper, they prevent bending, vibration and material breakout under high cutting forces, enabling superior surface finish and tight form, position and run-out tolerances.
How they work in industrial machining
Fixed centre points (dead centres) are characterised by absolute stiffness and highest run-out accuracy, typically featuring a wear-resistant carbide insert and requiring consistent lubrication of the contact face. By contrast, live centres contain a precision, backlash-free rolling bearing so the tip rotates synchronously with the workpiece, eliminating frictional heat and reducing mechanical wear. Selection between the two depends on the machining task: fixed centres for metrology or ultra-precise grinding, live centres for high-speed, high-productivity CNC turning.
Key advantages that improve shop-floor output
- Increased process stability and reduced scrap through effective axial support and radial restraint
- Higher achievable cutting speeds and longer tool life when using live centres with precision bearings
- Exceptional concentricity and surface quality with dead centres fitted with carbide inserts
- Reduced vibration and improved dimensional control for long, slender parts
- Simplified setup and repeatability when mounted via Morse taper
Technical overview
- typical applications: turning, cylindrical grinding, high-precision measurement setups
- mounting: insertion into tailstock or machine spindle via Morse taper
- engagement: fits into a prepared centre hole on the workpiece face
- fixed centres (dead centres): carbide insert; high stiffness; contact face requires lubrication
- live centres: internal precision rolling bearing; synchronous rotation with workpiece; reduces friction and wear
- primary function: prevent deflection, vibration and material breakout; enable tight tolerances and high surface quality

FAQ
What is the difference between a live centre and a dead centre?
A live centre rotates with the workpiece thanks to an internal rolling bearing, minimising frictional heat and wear; a dead centre is rigid, often fitted with a carbide insert, and provides the highest stiffness and run-out accuracy.
When should centring points be mounted using a Morse taper?
Centring points are mounted via a Morse taper into the tailstock or spindle to ensure secure, repeatable axial positioning and fast changeover in turning and grinding operations.
Do fixed centring points require lubrication?
Yes — fixed centres with a contact face (often a carbide insert) require consistent lubrication at the interface to reduce wear and maintain accuracy.
Are live centres suitable for high-speed CNC turning?
Yes — live centres with precision, backlash-free bearings are the standard choice for high cutting speeds and continuous, productive CNC turning.
