Built from carbide-tipped steel, it provides a hardened contact surface that resists wear during high-speed or heavy-duty turning operations. The shank is machined to a 4MT Morse taper for direct mounting in compatible spindles and tailstocks. The head and point both measure 1.231 inches in diameter, and overall length is 6.75 inches. Accuracy is rated at 0.00005 inches, making it appropriate for close-tolerance turning work performed by machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dead center is suited for manual and CNC lathe applications where a rigid, non-rotating center support is required at the tailstock end. Common uses include turning between centers on shafts, spindles, and cylindrical workpieces in production and job-shop environments. The carbide-tipped point withstands the heat and pressure generated at the contact point when the workpiece rotates against it, reducing the need for frequent replacement compared to unhardened steel centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped full dead center construction resists wear at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4MT Morse taper shank for direct mounting in standard tailstocks and spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead and point diameter of 1.231 inches for consistent centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 6.75 inches with a point-to-gauge-line distance of 2.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy rated at 0.00005 inches for close-tolerance turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnockout diameter of 1.02 inches for standard ejection from the spindle bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in machine tool spindles and tailstocks with a 4MT Morse taper bore.

Power down and de-energize the machine completely before inserting or removing the center. Clean the taper bore and the center shank with a lint-free cloth to remove chips, oil, and debris before seating, as contamination will prevent proper taper engagement and affect accuracy. Use the knockout bar or draw bolt appropriate to the machine to remove the center  -  never use excessive impact force against the center body.\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: 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: 1.231 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.231 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnockout Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.6875 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: 2 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: 71043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911350321458,"sku":"71043","price":324.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66663dda94ab937076dbc63603fc3a83.jpg?v=1791210039","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-71043-carbide-tipped-solid-dead-center-4mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
