Accupro 781013 Live Center MT4 Morse Taper Standard Point

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 781013 is a live center designed for use in lathe tailstocks and between-center turning operations. It accepts a Morse Taper MT4 shank and features a standard 60-degree included angle point for general-purpose workholding. The unit supports a maximum workpiece weight of 300 pounds and a load capacity of 1,763.70 pounds, with a maximum spindle speed of 3,800 RPM. Overall length is 203 millimeters, with a shank length of 4.252 inches and a head length of 2.165 inches. Accuracy is rated at 0.003 mm, making it suitable for precision turning applications. This center is installed and used by machinists and CNC lathe operators in production and job-shop environments.

The ACCUPRO 781013 is used in manual and CNC lathe setups where a live rotating center is required to support the free end of a workpiece during turning, facing, or threading operations. The MT4 taper shank fits standard tailstocks with a No. 4 Morse Taper bore. The standard point style and 32 mm point diameter make it appropriate for a wide range of cylindrical workpiece diameters in both light and medium-duty material removal. This center is suited for production machining, toolroom work, and general metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or lathe operators. Before inserting or removing the live center, ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or placed in an e-stop state. Clean the tailstock taper bore and the shank taper with a lint-free cloth before seating to ensure proper contact and concentricity. Never drive the center into the bore with excessive force; a firm hand push or light mallet tap is sufficient to seat a Morse Taper shank correctly.
