Product Details

These crown dead centres feature a spring loaded centre point to ensure super-fast set up and dismounting of the turning blank. The spring tension can be adjusted to suit the density of the wood, simply by rotating a grubscrew. Surrounding the centre point is a series of 20 razor sharp, precision machined teeth that will not split the wood. They are extremely safe to use, as you can reduce the pressure from the tailstock which prevents the work from revolving in the event of a turning tool dig-in and you can stop the work for inspection without having to switch off the lathe. When used in conjunction with the crown revolving centre which has the same geometry, you can reverse your work, knowing that it will reposition in perfect alignment.

CNC machined from a hardened tool steel, the dead centre is perfectly balanced to ensure concentricity, resulting in super fine, chatter-free finishes to the turning. The crown drive centre can be used with equal confidence on both soft and hardwoods as well as synthetic materials when pen making. These are premium, heavy duty, dead centres that are much safer, faster and easier to use than conventional centres. ©

Martin Crump

Good piece of kit little issue with a bit of rust, dealt with promptly by customer service, very pleased with the outcome, can not fault them or the kit.

Mark Eggleton

Excellent service, price, and piece of kit. What more can I say? Will definitely be back for other bits

Ged Bellamy

Well made excellent Mt2 spring loaded drive centre that fits and works well. I much prefer it to the normal type 4-prong drive as with this if a really bad catch occurs it will slip.

John Galloway

Nicely made. Very positive grip on stock and accurate repositioning. A big improvement on 2 and 4 prong spindle drive. Thoroughly recommended.
