Built to a 3MT Morse taper shank, it seats securely and provides a rigid, non-rotating support point for precision turning operations. The carbide-tipped point delivers extended wear life compared to all-steel centers, maintaining accuracy through high-speed and high-load cutting cycles. With a published accuracy of 0.00005 inches, this center is suited for applications where runout tolerance is critical. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC lathe operators are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RITEN 71033 is used in metal cutting environments where a workpiece must be supported at the tailstock end during turning, facing, or grinding operations. Its standard point style makes it appropriate for center-drilled workpieces following standard 60-degree center drill geometry. The solid dead center construction means the point does not rotate with the workpiece, making it best suited for lower-speed applications or where the workpiece is lubricated at the contact point. Typical installations are found in manual engine lathes, turret lathes, and toolroom grinding machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped full dead center for extended wear life and hardness at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank for positive seating in compatible tailstock bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 60-degree point style fits center-drilled workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy of 0.00005 inches for precision turning and grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter and point diameter of 0.938 inches with a 5.25-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnockout diameter of 0.788 inches for standard drift key ejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in machine tool tailstocks and headstocks with a No. 3 Morse taper (3MT) bore.

Before inserting or removing a Morse taper center, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized. Clean the taper shank and bore of any chips, oil, or debris before seating to prevent fretting and ensure accurate alignment. Use a drift key through the knockout slot to eject the center cleanly; do not strike the center body directly. When using a dead center, apply appropriate cutting or lubricating fluid to the contact point to reduce heat buildup at the workpiece interface.\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: 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: 3MT\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: 0.938 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\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: 71033\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912549564722,"sku":"71033","price":252.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/beb48889451d7f2333b2ac1f86048d70.jpg?v=1791235838","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-71033-solid-dead-center-3mt-carbide-tipped-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
