Riten 49905 Lathe Point Extractor 5MT Taper

Product Description

The RITEN 49905 is a lathe point extractor machined from hardened tool steel for use with live centers on engine lathes and turning centers. The extractor is designed to remove lathe center points cleanly without damaging the taper bore or the center body. It fits a 5MT (Morse Taper No. 5) shank and holds an accuracy of 0.0003 inches. Hardened tool steel construction resists deformation under repeated use and maintains dimensional integrity in high-cycle shop environments. This tool is used by machinists and lathe operators who regularly swap point styles on modular live center systems.

The 49905 is suited for manual and CNC turning applications where a 5MT live center is in service. It is used in production shops, tool rooms, and maintenance environments where quick point changes are part of standard workflow. The extractor allows a technician to remove a pressed-in or seated point from a live center body without improvising with drifts or hammers, reducing the risk of damage to precision components.

Key Features

• Hardened tool steel construction for durability and resistance to wear
• 5MT (Morse Taper No. 5) shank compatibility
• Accuracy to 0.0003 inches for precise fitment
• Designed specifically for use with live centers
• Single-piece construction with no moving parts to service

Compatibility

Designed for use with live centers equipped with a 5MT (Morse Taper No. 5) interface. Specific compatible live center models were not identified in available product data; verify taper size and point retention method against your live center specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of lathe center components should be performed by a qualified machinist with the lathe powered down and the spindle locked. Follow the live center manufacturer's instructions for point extraction to avoid damaging the taper bore. Do not use the extractor as a drift or striking tool. Store the extractor in a clean, dry location to protect the hardened steel surfaces from corrosion and impact damage.
