Universal live centre VPC-MT2 — alloy steel, 132 mm by Vertex

Universal live centre VPC-MT2 for lathe work, providing revolving tailstock support and stable axial alignment across general turning applications

• Universal revolving centre for lathes
• Accuracy within 0.005 mm
• Up to 2,800 rpm operational speed
• Alloy steel construction for long service life

Precision where concentricity matters

The revolving tailstock point delivers a defined support point that reduces axial runout and maintains workpiece concentricity throughout turning cycles. Built to an accuracy of 0.005 mm, the centre stabilises the cutting process, which translates into fewer rework cycles and improved first-pass yields. The close tolerance is particularly beneficial when producing tight-shaft diameters or precision components where concentricity is decisive for assembly or balancing.

Stable performance at practical spindle speeds

Rated for operation up to 2,800 rpm, the centre is suitable for a broad range of workshop turning speeds without compromising bearing life. Its rotating bearing assembly minimises friction and heat generation, supporting continuous operation during longer batch runs. The modest weight of 0.5 kg and compact profile help maintain lathe balance and reduce axial deflection, supporting reliable machining of medium-duty parts.

Durable construction for everyday workshop use

Manufactured from alloy steel, the centre is engineered for wear resistance and dimensional stability under cyclic loading. The material choice safeguards the running surface against premature abrasion, extending service intervals and lowering lifetime costs. The robust construction makes the centre a sound component for mixed-material workflows where consistent support and repeatability are required.

Practical dimensions and workshop integration

With a length of 132 mm, the centre suits common tailstock configurations and leaves sufficient engagement for shorter and medium workpieces. The compact form factor eases storage and handling while the balanced design supports steady rotation under typical lathe forces. Where interchangeability and compatibility with existing setups are priorities, the compact profile and industry-standard format facilitate straightforward use in general workshop environments.
