Revolving Center

Primarily utilized in "Lathe" machines, the turning operation can lead to wobbling and geometric inaccuracies in long workpieces due to high bending forces. To maintain stability and precision, a revolving center is employed to secure the free end of the workpiece. This term originates from its rotational motion with the workpiece about the job axis, facilitated by friction as it is anchored at the center.
