Machined from steel with a standard point style, this dead center accepts a 4MT Morse taper shank and features a 1.25-inch head diameter with a point diameter of approximately 2.03 inches. The point-to-gauge-line length is 2.9375 inches, and the thread size is 1-3\/8-12. With an accuracy rating of 0.00005 inches, this center is suited for precision turning operations. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this type of center when part rotation relative to the center is not required or when the workpiece will provide its own lubrication at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RITEN 68604 is used in manual and CNC lathes equipped with a 4MT Morse taper tailstock or headstock. It is appropriate for general-purpose turning, facing, and between-center grinding operations in job shops, production environments, and tool rooms. The solid construction makes it well-suited for heavy cuts and interrupted cuts where a live center might deflect or lose concentricity under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid steel construction for rigidity under heavy turning loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4MT Morse taper shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible tailstocks and headstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard point style with 1.25-inch head diameter and approximately 2.03-inch point diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy rating of 0.00005 inches for precision between-center work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-3\/8-12 threaded section for drawbar or retention applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-carbide-tipped design suitable for use with workpiece lubrication at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks and headstocks with a 4MT Morse taper socket.

Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or removing the center. Clean the taper bore and the center shank thoroughly before installation to ensure full taper contact and accurate seating. When using a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting oil or grease to the center point contact area on the workpiece to reduce friction and heat buildup during turning.\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\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: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.03125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/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\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: 68604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67913321546034,"sku":"68604","price":406.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c3f37781c2b3a36c94e83f0720bc5919.jpg?v=1791244496","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-68604-solid-dead-center-4mt-morse-taper-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
