It features a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank profile with an outside diameter of 1.116 inches and a runout accuracy of 0.0001 inches. The hardened tool steel construction provides resistance to wear and deformation under the repeated loading conditions common in turning operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and lathe operators install this shank as an accessory to properly seat and secure live center assemblies in the tailstock or spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shank is suited for metal cutting applications in both production and job-shop environments where a No. 3 Morse Taper interface is required. It serves as the connecting component between the live center and the lathe tailstock, transmitting axial load while maintaining precise concentricity. Typical installations include general-purpose turning, between-center work, and shaft-turning operations on lathes equipped with a 3MT tailstock bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT (Morse Taper 3) profile for standard tailstock fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 1.116 inches for proper seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunout accuracy of 0.0001 inches for precise center alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened tool steel construction for wear resistance under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a live center accessory shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with live centers requiring a No. 3 Morse Taper shank interface.

Before installing, ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked or at rest. Clean the taper bore and shank mating surfaces thoroughly to remove chips, oil, and debris, as contamination directly affects seating accuracy and runout. Drive the shank into the tailstock bore using a soft-face mallet and verify secure seating before engaging the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3MT (Morse Taper 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.116 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Live Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RITEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17123\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912949629234,"sku":"17123","price":590.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3eeb5b66e97f098fabd8ac490f758c1b.jpg?v=1791241044","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-17123-lathe-shank-3mt-taper-live-center","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
