Machined from steel with a standard point style, this dead center features a 1MT Morse taper shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible taper bores. The head diameter and point diameter are both 0.48 inches, with a tip diameter of 0.28 inches. At 0.14 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for smaller turning operations. It is not carbide-tipped and is intended for use in low-speed or stationary support applications where the workpiece rotates against the fixed center point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is appropriate for use in manual lathes, tool rooms, and light machining environments where a 1MT taper is the standard spindle interface. It provides rigid, fixed-point support for turning, grinding, or inspection of cylindrical workpieces. The standard point geometry suits general-purpose centering tasks. Machinists and machine tool operators working with smaller lathes or tailstock setups will find this center fits typical No. 1 Morse taper bores without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in general-purpose turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1MT Morse taper shank for positive seating in standard No. 1 taper bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard point style with 0.48 inch point diameter for consistent workpiece contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip diameter of 0.28 inches for precise center engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid dead center design provides rigid, vibration-free workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.14 pounds, suitable for compact lathe setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard accessory for machine tool tailstocks and spindles accepting a No. 1 Morse taper bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists familiar with lathe tooling and Morse taper seating procedures. Before inserting or removing the center, ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle has come to a complete stop. Clean the taper shank and the taper bore with a lint-free cloth before seating to ensure proper contact and prevent fretting. Because this is a solid dead center, apply appropriate lubricant to the workpiece center hole when supporting rotating stock to reduce friction and wear at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 1MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbide-Tipped\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 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: 3-555-005P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715660054834,"sku":"3-555-005P","price":26.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a0a1297f9ea97c0874f98087dd31689a.jpg?v=1788516902","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-3-555-005p-solid-dead-center-1mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
