Riten 49502 Live Center Point Set 2MT 100 Lb 4 Point

Product Description

The RITEN 49502 is a four-point live center point set designed for use on lathes and cylindrical grinding machines where interchangeable points are required for varied workpiece geometries. The set includes bull nose, female, standard, and tracer point configurations, all machined from hardened tool steel for long service life under continuous cutting loads. Rated for workpieces up to 100 pounds and a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, the 49502 suits production turning and precision grinding operations where a single center must handle multiple part profiles without changing the entire center assembly.

This point set is used in metalworking shops running manual or CNC lathes and cylindrical grinders. It is suited for residential machine shops, tool rooms, and production floor environments where operators frequently switch between shaft ends, bored workpieces, and contoured parts. The interchangeable design allows a machinist or setup technician to swap point styles at the machine rather than pulling and replacing the entire live center, reducing changeover time during mixed-part runs.

Key Features

• Four interchangeable point styles: bull nose, female, standard, and tracer point
• Hardened tool steel construction for wear resistance under load
• 2MT (Morse Taper No. 2) shank fits standard lathe and grinder tailstocks
• Rated to 100 lb maximum workpiece weight
• 5,000 RPM maximum speed rating supports production turning speeds
• Interchangeable point system reduces tooling changeover time

Compatibility

Designed for use with live center bodies accepting a 2MT (Morse Taper No. 2) shank interface, as found on a wide range of manual and CNC lathes and cylindrical grinders equipped with standard tailstock bores.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and bring the spindle to a full stop before swapping point styles or seating the taper shank in the tailstock. Clean the Morse taper bore and shank with a lint-free cloth before seating to prevent fretting and ensure accurate alignment. Do not exceed the rated 100 lb workpiece weight or 5,000 RPM spindle speed for this assembly.
