Built from steel with a long-point geometry, this dead center features a No. 3 Morse Taper shank for direct spindle or tailstock mounting. The head diameter measures 3\/8 inches, with a matching point diameter of 3\/8 inches and a point length of 1-1\/4 inches. Overall length is 1-11\/16 inches. Accuracy is held to 0.00005 inches, making it suitable for precision turning work. Licensed machinists and lathe operators install this type of center in production and toolroom environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is used in metal-turning operations on manual and CNC lathes equipped with a No. 3 Morse Taper tailstock or spindle bore. Its long-point style provides clearance for small-diameter workpieces and deep-hole turning setups. The 7\/8-14 thread size supports draw-bar or retention configurations on compatible spindle setups. Typical applications include precision shaft turning, cylindrical grinding support, and workholding in both job-shop and production machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid steel construction  -  no rotation, no bearing wear, full rigidity under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-point geometry for improved clearance on small-diameter and deep-reach turning work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 3 Morse Taper shank for direct mount in standard tailstock or spindle bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy of 0.00005 inches for precision turning and cylindrical grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8-14 thread size for draw-bar retention compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 1-11\/16 inch overall length minimizes overhang in the tailstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid dead center for lathes and turning machines equipped with a No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) tailstock or spindle bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or lathe operators. Power down and de-energize the lathe spindle before inserting or removing the center. Clean the Morse Taper bore and the shank with a lint-free cloth before seating to ensure full taper contact and prevent fretting. Dead centers generate heat at the contact point during turning  -  use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication at the center tip, and monitor workpiece temperature during extended cuts.\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 (No. 3 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 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: 0.71 pounds\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: 68113\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67915886330162,"sku":"68113","price":324.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/67b251758836215cc114bed56adb109b.jpg?v=1791254965","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-68113-solid-dead-center-long-point-3mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
