Lathe Centering Tool with Bump Roller for 1/2" Tool Post

Key features

• Centering Short Workpieces: Solves the problem of centering small workpieces that are too short for the chuck. As you rotate the chuck manually, the tool gently hits the high point, quickly centering the workpiece for facing or turning.
• Simple and safe to operate: Clamp the workpiece loosely, gently touch the rotating workpiece with the roller bearing (rotate by hand only!) ), then observe the workpiece self-centering. Always tighten the chuck securely before starting the machine.
• Bi-directional versatility: Roller bearings at both ends. By rotating the tool post 90°, you can use the same tool to center workpieces for turning (horizontal use) or facing (vertical use).
• Precision Construction: Constructed of sturdy 1/2" x 1/2" steel rods (approx. 4" long) and smooth-rolling 3/4" diameter bearings (1/4" bore, 9/32" wide). Stainless steel washers and ground 1/4-20 round head screws ensure long life.
• Universal 1/2" Shank Compatibility: Mounts securely to any standard lathe or CNC toolpost that accepts a 1/2" square bit, providing a practical solution for home studios and professional facilities.
