1MT Mini Live Center with Triple Bearing – Precision Small Body Lathe Tool | Bluefox Tools

The 1MT Mini Live Center with Triple Bearing by Bluefox Tools is a compact, high-precision solution designed for small-scale lathe operations. Engineered with a Morse Taper 1 (MT1) shank and a small body design, this live center is ideal for mini lathes, benchtop lathes, and other compact machines where space is limited but accuracy and performance are essential.

This live center is equipped with a precision triple bearing system that includes radial and thrust bearings to ensure smooth, stable rotation under varying loads. The triple bearing configuration reduces friction, enhances concentricity, and allows for extended, high-speed use without compromising accuracy. Whether you're turning long, slender shafts or detailed miniature components, this tool provides dependable support and helps achieve a fine surface finish with minimal runout or vibration.

The tip is hardened and ground to maintain dimensional accuracy and resist wear, even when used with tough materials such as steel or stainless steel. Its compact body reduces overhang from the tailstock and enhances control during detailed operations, particularly valuable in applications such as watchmaking, pen turning, jewelry work, and other forms of fine model engineering.

Manufactured from high-quality alloy steel and built to withstand daily use in demanding workshop environments, this live center is both durable and reliable. The sealed bearings are protected from dust and debris, extending the tool’s lifespan while minimizing maintenance. Its precision-ground taper ensures a snug and accurate fit in any standard MT1 tailstock, making setup fast and secure.

Whether you are a hobbyist, machinist, educator, or model engineer, the Bluefox Tools 1MT Mini Live Revolving Center offers exceptional value, lasting performance, and precise results in any turning project that requires compact design and fine control. It’s a tool you can count on for quality threading, profiling, or general support across a wide range of light-duty machining tasks.
