Carbide-tipped steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance at the contact point, extending service life in turning applications where a live center is not required. The standard point geometry suits general-purpose workholding on round or center-drilled stock. At 4-3\/16 inches overall length and a 0.7-inch head diameter, this center fits a wide range of manual and CNC lathes in job shop and production environments. Machinists and machine tool operators install and remove it without special tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is used in manual lathe tailstocks, mill-turn centers, and any spindle bored to accept a 2MT Morse taper. It is suited for low-speed or stationary-workpiece setups where the center does not rotate with the part. Typical applications include cylindrical turning, between-centers grinding setups, and inspection work where a fixed center point is needed. The carbide tip handles moderate thrust loads and abrasive contact better than unhardened steel alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped steel construction for extended wear life at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard point style for general-purpose between-centers turning and positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2MT Morse taper shank seats directly in compatible tailstock spindles without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.7-inch head diameter and 0.7-inch point diameter for consistent workpiece contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.572-inch knockout diameter allows standard drift key removal from the spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 4-3\/16-inch overall length suits bench lathes and mid-size production lathes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any lathe tailstock or machine tool spindle bored to accept a 2MT Morse taper.

Clean the Morse taper bore and the taper shank thoroughly before seating to ensure proper contact and prevent fretting. Insert the center with a firm push to seat the taper; use a standard drift key through the knockout slot to eject it cleanly. Because this is a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting fluid or grease to the work contact point when turning to reduce heat buildup at the tip.\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: 2MT\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: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnockout Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.572 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 71023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912038514994,"sku":"71023","price":188.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/17ad28577273376238ffd7de292e7f80.jpg?v=1791225670","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-71023-solid-dead-center-2mt-carbide-tipped-standard-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
