PIPE CENTRES
Pipe Centres or revolving cone centres have bearings creating a live centre on a 60' or 90' ground steel cone, best suited for holding hollow pipe or tube, for turning on a lathe.
The largest diameter of the pipe centre indicates the diameter of the job it will hold, generally with a weight and max. RPM speed rating on the quality pipe centres.
Several types of pipe centre kits are also on offer, which have interchangeable cones and reverse cones.
Another popular pipe centre is offered from "Daintree Tools", which has a general purpose live centre, with various diameter cones available individually to slide onto the live centres hardened point.
