MT5 Pipe Centre 120mm Bull Nose Live Centre

This MT5 Pipe Centre 120mm Bull Nose Live Centre is engineered for supporting large hollow workpieces such as pipes, tubes, and cylindrical components during turning operations. The wide bull nose design allows the centre to sit securely inside the bore, distributing pressure evenly and preventing distortion—making it ideal for thin-walled or large-diameter materials.

Constructed from heat-treated alloy steel and precision ground for high accuracy, this live centre features a heavy-duty bearing system that ensures smooth, low-friction rotation even under high loads. The sealed bearing design protects against coolant, dust, and debris, extending tool life and maintaining consistent performance in demanding machining environments. Bull nose live centres are specifically designed to improve stability, reduce vibration, and maintain concentricity when machining hollow components.
