It mounts via a 4MT Morse Taper shank and features a long-point tip geometry that provides extended reach and improved visibility during close-tolerance turning. The head diameter measures 5\/8 inches with a point diameter of 5\/8 inches and a point-to-gauge-line length of 2-7\/8 inches. Machined from steel and finished to an accuracy of 0.00005 inches, this center holds tight tolerances under sustained cutting loads. It is a non-rotating dead center, meaning it is used at the tailstock when workpiece speed is low or when rigidity is the priority over friction reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RITEN 68104 is suited for manual and CNC lathes equipped with a 4MT Morse Taper tailstock socket. Typical applications include between-center turning, grinding setups, and inspection work where a fixed reference point is required. The long-point configuration is particularly useful when turning thin-diameter workpieces or when clearance around the cutting zone is limited. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision grinding technicians are the primary users of this type of center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid dead center construction for maximum rigidity during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-point tip style extends reach and improves access in tight setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4MT Morse Taper shank fits standard lathe tailstock sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachined from steel for durability under sustained load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccuracy rated to 0.00005 inches for high-precision applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size of 1-1\/8-12 for compatible drawbar or ejection configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks with a Number 4 Morse Taper socket.

Before inserting the center, ensure the Morse Taper bore of the tailstock is clean and free of chips, oil, and burrs, as contamination will affect seating accuracy. Insert the taper with a firm push to fully seat it; do not hammer. When removing, use the tailstock ejector spindle or a soft-faced drift to avoid damage to the taper surfaces. Dead centers generate friction heat at the contact point, so use only at appropriate workpiece speeds.\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 4MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8-12\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: 1.75 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: 68104\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908654301490,"sku":"68104","price":406.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1c11ba9abe941e9ffdd7b39e400ef3db.jpg?v=1791184292","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-68104-solid-dead-center-long-point-4mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
