Built from steel with a standard point style, this dead center accepts a 5MT Morse taper shank and features a 1.76-inch head diameter with a matching 1.76-inch point diameter and a 0.71-inch tip diameter. At 7-7\/8 inches overall length and 4.29 pounds, it is sized for medium to heavy turning work. Because it does not rotate with the workpiece, it is used in applications where the part spins against the stationary center, typically at lower speeds with appropriate lubrication at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is suited for manual and CNC lathes equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper tailstock. It is a standard fitment for shops performing turning, facing, and between-center work on medium to large-diameter stock. Machinists in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments rely on solid dead centers when rigidity and positional accuracy take priority over live-center rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5MT Morse taper shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible tailstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.76-inch head diameter and 1.76-inch point diameter for medium to large workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.71-inch tip diameter with standard point style for general-purpose turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides rigidity and resistance to deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-7\/8-inch overall length suits a range of tailstock reach requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-rotating solid design delivers maximum rigidity at the workpiece contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for lathes and machine tools equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper tailstock or spindle bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before seating the center, power down and lock out the lathe spindle drive following standard LOTO procedures. Clean the tailstock bore and the Morse taper shank thoroughly to ensure full seating and prevent fretting. When running a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting fluid or grease at the workpiece contact point to reduce friction and heat buildup, and monitor contact regularly during extended cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morse Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.76 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.76 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.71 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.29 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: 3-555-025P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716009918770,"sku":"3-555-025P","price":82.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5970353643e15b94e1fd771ce929d975.jpg?v=1788520937","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-3-555-025p-solid-dead-center-5mt-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
