Riten 49904 Lathe Point Extractor 2MT 3MT 4MT Taper

Product Description

The RITEN 49904 is a hardened tool steel lathe point extractor designed to remove live center points from Morse taper spindles without damage to the center or the point. Compatible with 2MT, 3MT, and 4MT tapers, this extractor gives machinists and lathe operators a safe, controlled method for point removal. The hardened tool steel construction resists deformation under repeated use, maintaining accuracy to 0.0003 inches. It is a straightforward accessory for any shop running live centers across multiple taper sizes on manual or CNC turning equipment.

This extractor is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where live centers are regularly serviced or swapped between jobs. It fits lathe setups using 2MT, 3MT, or 4MT Morse taper live centers and eliminates the need to improvise point removal with punches or other tools that risk damaging precision ground surfaces. Suitable for journeyman machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working on lathe spindle assemblies.

Installation Notes

Point extractor use requires the lathe to be fully powered down and the spindle to be stationary before any point removal is attempted. Follow standard machine shop lockout procedures before servicing live centers or spindle tooling. Do not use hammers or impact tools with this extractor. Consult the live center manufacturer service documentation for specific extraction procedures if available.
