It mounts via an MT3 Morse taper shank and uses a triple-bearing assembly to support the rotating point, allowing the workpiece to spin freely without friction-induced heat or runout. The standard 60-degree included-angle point is machined from steel and delivers an overall length of 6.417 inches with a head length of 3.23 inches. Rated to 5,000 RPM and a maximum workpiece weight of 900 pounds, this live center suits a wide range of between-centers turning applications performed by machinists and tool-room operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis live center is intended for use on manual and CNC engine lathes equipped with an MT3 tailstock taper. It handles standard between-centers turning, facing, and cylindrical grinding setups where a stable, low-runout tail support is required. The triple-bearing design reduces heat buildup at higher spindle speeds, making it appropriate for both light-production and job-shop environments. The steel construction provides the rigidity needed when turning heavier or longer workpieces at moderate to high feed rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMT3 Morse taper shank for direct tailstock mounting without adapters on compatible lathes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTriple-bearing assembly supports rotation up to 5,000 RPM with reduced friction and heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 60-degree point with a point diameter of 1.181 inches and point length of 1.26 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for workpiece weights up to 900 pounds with a load capacity of 9,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction throughout for rigidity and long service life in production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccuracy of 0.005 mm for consistent runout performance during precision turning operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks with an MT3 Morse taper bore.

Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before inserting or removing the live center from the tailstock. Clean the taper bore and shank with a lint-free cloth to remove oil, chips, or debris before seating the center, as contamination reduces holding force and increases runout. Never use a hammer or mallet directly on the center body to seat or eject the taper; use the tailstock ram or a proper drift through the knockout slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Triple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Workpiece Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 900 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.181 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.180 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.26 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.417 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbide-Tipped Point\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.19 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: 320115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690320265522,"sku":"320115","price":227.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f45fc12c750e90e8de794aa11d2d7959.jpg?v=1788268719","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-320115-live-center-mt3-taper-shank-900-lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
