Riten 72043 Solid Dead Center Jarno 6 Taper Carbide Tipped

Product Description

The RITEN 72043 is a carbide-tipped steel solid dead center designed for use in lathes and turning equipment where a stationary, non-rotating center point is required. It features a Jarno 6 taper shank for secure mounting in compatible tailstock and headstock spindles. The head and point diameters are both 0.75 inches, and the overall length is 4.5 inches. The carbide-tipped full dead center construction delivers excellent wear resistance and holds accuracy to 0.00005 inches, making it suitable for precision turning applications in production and tool room environments. Machinists and lathe operators install and service this type of component.

This solid dead center is used in metalworking lathe operations where the workpiece rotates against a stationary center point. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC lathe setups requiring a Jarno 6 taper shank. Typical applications include precision shaft turning, cylindrical grinding setups, and between-center turning where consistent point contact and dimensional accuracy are critical. The standard point style suits general-purpose turning across a range of workpiece diameters and materials.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped full dead center for extended wear life and high-precision point contact
• Jarno 6 taper shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible spindles
• 0.75 inch head and point diameter with 4.5 inch overall length
• Accuracy rated to 0.00005 inches for precision turning applications
• Taper length of 3.0 inches with a 0.60 inch knockout diameter for straightforward removal
• Point to gauge line distance of 1.5 inches for consistent setup reference

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid dead center for metalworking lathes and cylindrical grinders equipped with a Jarno 6 taper spindle bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and all drives disengaged before inserting or removing the center. The Jarno 6 taper shank should be cleaned of chips and oil before seating to ensure full contact and accuracy. Use the knockout diameter with an appropriate drift to remove the center without damage to the shank or spindle bore.
