Machined from hardened tool steel, this center accepts a 6MT (No. 6 Morse Taper) shank and features a standard point style with a head diameter of 2.494 inches and an overall length of 11.5 inches. The precision-ground point delivers an accuracy of 0.00005 inches, making it suitable for high-tolerance turning and between-center work. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this type of center when a driven rotating center is not required or when maximum rigidity is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is suited for heavy-duty lathe work in metalworking shops, toolrooms, and production machining environments. The 6MT shank fits larger lathes and boring mills equipped with No. 6 Morse Taper tailstock bores. Its hardened tool steel construction handles the heat and wear associated with dead-center turning, particularly at slower speeds with proper lubrication. No specific compatible machine models are listed in the available product data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened tool steel construction for wear resistance under continuous contact loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 6 Morse Taper (6MT) shank for secure, self-holding fitment in compatible tailstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard point style with 2.494 inch point diameter for consistent workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh accuracy rating of 0.00005 inches for precision between-center machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid (non-rotating) design provides maximum rigidity during heavy cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnockout diameter of 2.116 inches for standard ejection with a drift bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit solid dead center for lathes and machine tools equipped with a No. 6 Morse Taper tailstock or spindle bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with Morse Taper tooling. Clean the taper shank and bore thoroughly before seating to ensure full contact and prevent fretting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing any tailstock tooling. When using a dead center, apply an appropriate high-pressure lubricant to the center point to reduce heat buildup and workpiece wear during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\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: 6MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Dead Center\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: 2.494 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.494 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnockout Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.116 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint to Gauge Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Tool Steel\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: 13.5 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: 71061\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67915222417714,"sku":"71061","price":725.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2a37adfa7ef6860b9d3d271e2347026c.jpg?v=1791252752","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/riten-71061-solid-dead-center-6mt-morse-taper-2-494-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
