Value Collection 320110 Live Center Taper Shank MT2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 320110 is a taper-shank live center designed for use in lathes and turning centers where the workpiece rotates with the center to eliminate friction and heat buildup. Built on an MT2 Morse taper shank, it supports workpieces up to 200 pounds and spins up to 6,400 RPM. The triple-bearing assembly provides stable, low-runout support under load, with a rated accuracy of 0.005 mm. The steel construction and standard 60-degree point geometry make this a dependable shop-floor tool for machinists, toolmakers, and CNC lathe operators handling medium-duty turning operations.

This live center is suited for manual and CNC lathes equipped with an MT2 tailstock taper. It handles a broad range of turning applications including shaft turning, OD grinding setups, and between-centers work in both job shop and production environments. The standard point style fits common center-drilled workpieces. With a 600-pound load capacity and a 6,400 RPM maximum speed, it covers most medium-duty residential and light industrial machining tasks without requiring a specialty or heavy-duty center.

Installation Notes

Live centers are installed and removed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before mounting, ensure the tailstock bore and taper shank are clean and free of chips, burrs, or oil to maintain accurate seating. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the center from the tailstock. Apply only enough tailstock quill pressure to support the workpiece without overloading the bearings beyond the rated capacity.
