Built from steel with a long point configuration, this center seats into a 3MT Morse taper shank and delivers a head diameter of 0.5 inches with a point length of 2 inches. The long point geometry provides clearance in tight turning operations and is well suited to precision turning applications where runout tolerance is critical. Accuracy is rated at 0.00005 inches, making it appropriate for close-tolerance work in production and toolroom environments. Machinists and lathe operators install this type of center when a rigid, non-rotating support point is needed at the tailstock end of a workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is used in manual and CNC lathe operations across job shop, toolroom, and light manufacturing settings. The 3MT Morse taper shank fits standard tailstocks and headstock spindles sized for No. 3 Morse taper. The long point style suits applications involving workpieces with center-drilled holes where extended reach or clearance from the chuck or fixture is beneficial. Installation is performed by machinists as part of standard workholding setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid dead center construction with no rotating components for rigid, fixed support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong point style provides clearance in close-quarters turning setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank for direct fit into compatible tailstock and headstock spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy rated at 0.00005 inches for precision turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in continuous machining use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread size 7\/8-14 for applicable mounting or ejection configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks and headstocks accepting a No. 3 Morse taper shank.

Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or removing the center from the taper. Insert the Morse taper shank firmly into the tailstock or headstock bore, ensuring full seating to prevent movement under load. Dead centers require lubrication at the contact point with the workpiece center hole to reduce heat buildup during cutting; use an appropriate center lubricant rated for the cutting speed and material being turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Dead Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long Point\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: 3MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00005 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 pound\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: 68103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912464859442,"sku":"68103","price":324.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0b102b7b7352484b511401df25cde2d5.jpg?v=1791234972","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-68103-solid-dead-center-long-point-3mt-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
