Built from hardened tool steel, this center features a standard point style and mounts via a 3MT Morse taper shank. It delivers a runout accuracy of 0.00005 inches, making it suitable for tight-tolerance turning operations. With a head diameter of 0.938 inches and an overall length of 5.25 inches, the 71031 is a direct-mount workholding component installed by machinists and toolroom technicians. It does not rotate with the workpiece and is intended for use where the workpiece or center is lubricated to manage friction at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is used in manual and CNC lathes equipped with a 3MT Morse taper tailstock or headstock. It is suited for residential shop environments as well as production machine shops requiring repeatable center-point location. Typical applications include between-centers turning, grinding setups, and cylindrical workholding where a live center is not required or preferred. The standard point geometry accommodates conventional 60-degree center-drilled workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened tool steel construction for wear resistance under continuous contact loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank for secure, self-holding mount in compatible tailstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 60-degree point style fits conventionally center-drilled workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunout accuracy of 0.00005 inches for precision turning and grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnockout diameter of 0.788 inches allows standard drift key removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo carbide tip  -  full steel construction throughout the point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for lathes and grinding machines with a 3MT Morse taper tailstock or headstock socket accepting a solid dead center with a 0.938 inch head diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before inserting or removing the center. Clean the Morse taper bore and the center shank thoroughly before seating to ensure full taper contact and accurate alignment. Use a standard drift key through the tailstock knockout slot to remove the center  -  never strike the workpiece end directly to dislodge it.\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: Hardened Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnockout Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.788 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0625 inches\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 pound\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: 71031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67917419348274,"sku":"71031","price":221.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b48096419bfbb70bb1b2976e3665200a.jpg?v=1791263037","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-71031-solid-dead-center-3mt-morse-taper-0-938-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
