About ALCT
Two workshops. One standard. Made in Australia.
Australian Live Centre & Tooling brings Daintree and Piper under one roof — the country’s only manufacturer of precision live centres, dead centres, pipe cones and tapping chucks.
Our story
Built by machinists, for machinists.
For more than a decade, Daintree has ground Australia’s most trusted live centres — heavy-duty bearings, sealed for life, running dead-true under real shop loads. Piper has kept the nation’s taps turning for a generation, with Safetap reversing heads that protect the tool and the operator.
ALCT brings both benches together: the same people, the same tolerances, now one easy place to order, get advice and have tooling on your bench fast. We still make everything here, and we still answer the phone.
Precision, made here.
