Riten 91033 Lathe Tracer Point 2MT 3MT Hardened Tool Steel

Product Description

The RITEN 91033 is a hardened tool steel lathe tracer point designed for use with live centers in precision turning applications. It features a 3/8-inch point diameter and accepts both 2MT and 3MT taper shanks, making it adaptable across a range of lathe setups. With a rated accuracy of 0.0003 inches and a maximum speed rating of 5000 RPM, this tracer point is built for controlled, repeatable contact during contouring and tracing operations. The hardened tool steel construction resists wear under continuous contact loads. Machinists and lathe operators install this point when performing profile tracing, taper turning, or contour-following work that demands a fine, consistent point geometry.

This tracer point is suited for manual and CNC lathe applications where a live center must follow a template or workpiece profile. The dual taper compatibility - 2MT and 3MT - allows fitment in a broad range of live center bodies used in job shop, toolroom, and production turning environments. It is appropriate for both light finishing passes and moderate-load tracing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch point diameter for precise contact geometry
• Hardened tool steel construction for wear resistance under continuous use
• Rated accuracy of 0.0003 inches for repeatable, controlled tracing
• Maximum speed rating of 5000 RPM suitable for a wide range of turning operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with live centers accepting 2MT or 3MT taper shanks. Specific compatible live center models were not identified in the available product data; verify taper size and point seat geometry against your live center specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or lathe operators familiar with Morse taper fitment. Before swapping tracer points, power down and lock out the lathe spindle drive. Clean the taper bore of the live center with a lint-free cloth to remove chips, oil, and debris before seating the point. Use a proper Morse taper drift to remove the point - do not strike the live center body directly.
