Fitted with a 4MT Morse taper shank, this center mounts directly into compatible tailstock bores without additional adapters. The carbide tip delivers hardness and wear resistance that outlasts standard steel points under continuous contact with rotating workpieces. With a 1-1\/4 inch head diameter and a point accuracy of 0.00005 inches, the 68914 is suited for precision turning, grinding setup, and cylindrical work-holding applications. It is installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is used in manual and CNC lathes equipped with a 4MT tailstock bore. Typical applications include precision turning between centers, cylindrical grinding setups, and workholding configurations where a live center is not required or preferred. The full dead center point style and carbide-tipped construction make it appropriate for interrupted or light-duty turning operations where the workpiece is lubricated at the center contact point. Suitable for both production and toolroom environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped full dead center point for extended wear life under continuous workpiece contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4MT Morse taper shank for direct mounting in compatible tailstock bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint accuracy of 0.00005 inches for precision turning and grinding setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch head diameter with a 2 inch point length for stable workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread size of 1-3\/8-12 for draw-bar retention where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length of 1-1\/4 inches ensures secure seating 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 machining equipment fitted with a No. 4 Morse taper tailstock bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle and tailstock before inserting or removing the center. Clean the tailstock bore and the Morse taper shank thoroughly before seating to ensure accurate alignment and prevent fretting. When using a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting or center lubricant to the workpiece contact point to reduce heat and wear during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide-Tipped 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: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-29\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-29\/32 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.16 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: 68914\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912187412786,"sku":"68914","price":561.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/beee71e7045e75f095b586d046c7e50f.jpg?v=1791229231","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-68914-solid-dead-center-carbide-tipped-4mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
