Questions & Answers

Is this something that could be used on a metalworking lathe? That appears to be the case. ?

Yes, these are intended for use on a metalworking lathe with an MT3 shank.

What is the source of these arguments?

There is no mention of the product's country of origin on the package or in the product itself. The strange English used in the accompanying leaflet, as well as the fonts used, point to China.

Is it possible to use a custom insert in place of the point on this?

Hello Eric, the live center you're looking at has the ability to change tips. We have a 2 MT interchangeable set that might work for you, 3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3900-3 5052 There aren't any with a 1 morse taper, however.

Is it possible to detach the arbor?

I recently bought a HHIP 3900- 5002 MT2. Surely, the "5001" is built in the same manner. It's an all-in-one live center. piece-by-piece construction It is not possible to separate the arbor from the rest of the structure.

Selected User Reviews For HHIP 3900-5001 MT1 Medium Duty Live Center

The Live Center on MT1 was not spinning

3/5

The MT1 Live center would not spin, and I couldn't loosen it with the torque I had. It was eventually loosen with Kroil (penetrating oil), but I could feel loose material in the bearings and the bearings didn't feel right. I returned it to Amazon because I suspected it hadn't been lubed at the factory. Also, unlike the pictures, the body was plain steel with no rings. It was, however, in a box with the proper part number. Due to the ambiguous date format, the "certificate of quality" was either dated 2011 or 2018.

Live-streaming studio of exceptional quality

5/5

I couldn't ask for a higher quality product for the price, which is consistent with most other HHIP items. The bearings are nice and run great under load, the front can be removed for service, and most importantly, the accuracy is something I'd expect to see in a product that costs easily twice as much. Overall, this was a great purchase that will most likely stay with my lathe for a long time.

This is ideal for the casual user or hobbyist

4/5

At first, the bearings were a bit sloppy. They needed to be broken in on the lathe for a while. After that, I went over everything again. They're ready to go now that they've been oiled. Before you begin a major project, do this.

Make sure you're well-oiled

3/5

For the price and the fact that it is from China, this is a decent live center. Keep a light coat of oil on it because it will rust quickly (due to the poor quality tool steel).
