Machined from steel with a standard point style, this dead center features a 6MT Morse taper shank for secure, self-locking installation in compatible machine tapers. The head diameter and point diameter are both 2.51 inches, with a tip diameter of 0.71 inches. At 13 pounds, this is a heavy-duty center suited for large-bore turning applications. It is installed by machinists and lathe operators in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is suited for use in center-driven turning operations on heavy or large-diameter workpieces where a live center is not appropriate or where rigidity takes priority over reduced friction. The 6MT Morse taper shank fits machine spindles and tailstocks designed for No. 6 Morse taper tooling, which is common on larger engine lathes and heavy turning centers. The standard point geometry is appropriate for workpieces with standard center-drilled holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6MT Morse taper shank for self-locking fit in compatible tailstock or spindle bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter and point diameter of 2.51 inches for large workpiece support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip diameter of 0.71 inches provides focused contact at the workpiece center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for rigidity and durability under heavy turning loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard point style compatible with conventionally center-drilled workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid fixed design delivers maximum rigidity where live-center rotation is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for machine spindles and tailstocks that accept a No. 6 Morse taper (6MT) tooling interface, typically found on large engine lathes and heavy turning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist or lathe operator. Power down and lock out the lathe before inserting or removing the dead center from the tailstock or spindle. Clean the Morse taper bore and shank thoroughly before insertion to ensure full seating and prevent taper damage. Because this is a solid dead center, the workpiece must be lubricated at the contact point to reduce heat buildup during cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morse Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6MT\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: 2.51 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.51 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: 10.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 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: 3-555-030P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692460998962,"sku":"3-555-030P","price":209.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d3c5c968b500c3041a6473e3f5ddf5c.jpg?v=1788297848","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-3-555-030p-solid-dead-center-6mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
