Accupro 781028 Live Center MT3 Morse Taper 6000 Rpm

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 781028 is a live center designed for use in lathe tailstocks and live center applications requiring a Morse Taper shank. Built with an MT3 taper shank, this center supports workpiece weights up to 1,165 pounds and a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM. The standard point style features a 60-degree included angle, a point diameter of 20 mm, and a tip diameter of 10 mm. Accuracy is rated at 0.002 mm, making it suitable for precision turning operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this center when performing cylindrical turning, threading, or facing operations that require steady, concentric workpiece support at the tailstock end.

This live center is intended for use in manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers equipped with an MT3 tailstock bore. It is well suited for medium-duty turning applications in job shops, production environments, and toolroom settings where consistent rotational accuracy and load capacity are required. The standard point geometry accommodates a wide range of workpiece center-hole profiles without requiring point changes for typical operations.
