It accepts a 4MT (No. 4 Morse Taper) shank for secure seating in compatible tailstock bores. The head diameter measures 1.24 inches, the point diameter measures 1.24 inches, and the tip diameter measures 0.55 inches. Overall length (OAL) is 6-5\/16 inches. The standard point style suits general-purpose turning operations. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC lathe operators are the primary users of this type of tooling component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is suited for manual and CNC lathes that accept a No. 4 Morse Taper tailstock. It is appropriate for residential shop and industrial production environments where a rigid, non-rotating center point is required to support workpieces during turning. The carbide tip provides wear resistance when running at low to moderate speeds with proper lubrication applied to the center point. This part is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped steel construction for extended wear life at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 4 Morse Taper (4MT) shank for secure, self-locking fit in compatible tailstock bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard point style for general-purpose lathe turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter and point diameter both measure 1.24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip diameter of 0.55 inches for precise workpiece contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 6-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks and other machine tool spindles that accept a No. 4 Morse Taper (4MT) shank bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Clean the Morse Taper shank and the tailstock bore thoroughly before seating to ensure full contact and prevent fretting. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before inserting or removing the center. When used as a dead center, apply a suitable center lubricant or cutting compound to the workpiece center hole to reduce heat buildup and prevent galling at the tip.\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\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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 (No. 4 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.78 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-550-020P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720365113650,"sku":"3-550-020P","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6cf04d6ff2f443175fb27a43bbe78c16.jpg?v=1788562827","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-3-550-020p-solid-dead-center-4mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
