Value Collection 320120 Live Center MT4 Taper Shank 4100 Rpm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 320120 is a taper shank live center designed for use in metal lathes and turning operations. It mounts via an MT4 Morse taper shank and supports workpieces up to 1,800 lb load capacity at speeds up to 4,100 RPM. The triple-bearing design allows the center point to rotate with the workpiece, reducing friction and heat during extended turning runs. Constructed from steel with a 60-degree included angle standard point, this live center delivers an accuracy rating of 0.005 mm, making it suitable for general-purpose and moderate-precision turning work. Machinists and tool room technicians are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling.

This live center is intended for use in metalworking lathes equipped with an MT4 taper spindle. It is well suited for turning operations on larger workpieces in production machine shops, tool rooms, and job shops where moderate-to-heavy stock removal is performed. The standard point geometry handles most common cylindrical turning applications. At 7.598 inches overall length, it provides adequate clearance and reach for typical between-centers work on mid-size to large lathes.

Key Features

• MT4 Morse taper shank for secure, repeatable mounting in compatible lathe tailstocks
• Triple-bearing construction supports high radial and axial loads up to 1,800 lb
• 4,100 RPM maximum speed rating for general turning operations
• 60-degree included angle standard point fits center-drilled workpiece prep
• 0.005 mm accuracy for consistent centerline alignment
• Steel construction for durability in continuous shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use in metal lathes with an MT4 Morse taper tailstock spindle bore. Verify taper size and bore depth of the tailstock before installation.

Installation Notes

This live center is installed by a machinist or tool room technician. Before installing or removing the center, disengage the lathe and ensure all spindle motion has stopped. Clean the MT4 taper shank and tailstock bore thoroughly before seating to prevent fretting and ensure accurate alignment. Never exceed the rated 4,100 RPM or 1,800 lb workpiece load capacity for this unit.
