Live Center Set – Lot of 3 – Lathe Accessories – From Clockmaker’s Estate – Unknown Fit – For Precision Support – Only One Set Available

This lot includes three live center pieces sourced from the estate of a professional clock repairman. Though the specific lathe brand they fit is unknown, these tools were used in precision work, likely for supporting clock arbors and small parts during turning and polishing operations.

Live centers are essential for providing accurate, rotating support at the tailstock end of a lathe. They help reduce wobble and ensure stability during delicate machining—especially valuable in horological and miniature work where precision is critical.

These are vintage, lightly used pieces from a discontinued inventory and are being offered as-is. This is the only set available, and once sold, they will not be restocked.
