Machined from hardened tool steel, this dead center accepts a 2MT (No. 2 Morse Taper) shank and features a 2.125-inch head diameter with a point diameter of 1.4 inches. The bull nose profile supports hollow or tubular workpieces by contacting the bore face rather than a center-drilled point. Accuracy is rated at 0.0001 inches, making it suitable for precision turning and grinding operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this part in manual and CNC lathes requiring a stationary tailstock support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RITEN 66502 is used in metalworking and machining environments, including job shops, tool rooms, and production turning operations. The bull nose dead center is particularly well suited for supporting hollow shafts, tubing, and bore-faced workpieces in both light-duty and moderate production scenarios. The 2MT shank fits standard No. 2 Morse Taper tailstock bores found on a wide range of bench and engine lathes. This center does not rotate with the workpiece, so it is typically used at lower spindle speeds or when the application does not require a live center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBull nose point style supports hollow and tubular workpieces at the bore face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened tool steel construction for wear resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for standard tailstock fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccuracy rated at 0.0001 inches for precision turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid (non-rotating) dead center design  -  no bearings to maintain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size of 0.5 inches for drawbar or retention compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid dead center for lathes and machining fixtures equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) tailstock bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before installing, power down and bring the spindle to a complete stop. Clean the tailstock bore and the Morse taper shank thoroughly to remove chips, oil, and debris before seating the center  -  contamination will cause runout errors. Because this is a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting lubricant to the workpiece contact area during use to reduce friction and heat at the interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Dead Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bull Nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morse Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2MT (No. 2 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.906 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.406 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbide-Tipped\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.51 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 66502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918249001266,"sku":"66502","price":569.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5b86cf151af707a50208155308a6a410.jpg?v=1791268665","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-66502-solid-dead-center-bull-nose-2mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
