It accepts a 3MT Morse taper shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible machine spindles. The carbide tip resists wear and heat at the contact point, extending service life compared to all-steel alternatives. With a 0.95-inch head diameter, a 0.43-inch tip diameter, and an overall length of 4.92 inches, this center suits precision turning applications where dimensional accuracy and tool longevity are the priority. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this type of center when static support of a rotating workpiece is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is appropriate for manual and CNC lathes equipped with a No. 3 Morse taper tailstock. It is suited for lower-speed turning operations or situations where the workpiece itself rotates on a lubricated center point. Typical applications include shaft turning, cylindrical grinding setups, and general metalworking operations in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The standard point style is compatible with conventionally drilled center holes on workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped contact point resists wear and heat for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank seats securely in compatible tailstock spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard point style fits conventionally center-drilled workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.95-inch head diameter and 0.43-inch tip diameter for positive workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.92-inch overall length provides adequate clearance in typical lathe setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped steel construction balances toughness with wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket solid dead center for lathes and grinding machines with a No. 3 Morse taper tailstock spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before seating the center, clean both the Morse taper shank and the tailstock bore thoroughly to remove chips, oil, and debris that could cause misalignment. Insert the taper shank with a firm push to seat it fully; never force it with excessive impact. When using a solid dead center, apply appropriate center lubricant to the workpiece center hole to reduce friction and prevent galling at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.92 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.84 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-550-015P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716666851634,"sku":"3-550-015P","price":69.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/610af474d0b517bda06ce2c96d373b27.jpg?v=1788529971","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-3-550-015p-solid-dead-center-3mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
