Value Collection 625.35506779 Live Center MT2 Taper Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 625.35506779 is a taper shank live center designed for use in lathe tailstocks to support rotating workpieces during turning operations. Built with an MT2 Morse taper shank and a double bearing configuration, it maintains accurate, low-friction workpiece support under load. The 1-39/64 inch head diameter and 15/16 inch standard point diameter accommodate a wide range of part sizes. With a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 1,800 pounds and a load capacity of 756 pounds, this center is suited for both light production and heavier turning work. Accuracy is rated at 0.0002 inches. The body is steel construction.

This live center is intended for use in manual and CNC lathes equipped with an MT2 tailstock taper. It is appropriate for general-purpose turning in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and use this type of center when supporting longer workpieces between centers or when the part geometry requires steady tailstock support throughout the cut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing the live center, ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked. Clean the tailstock bore and the MT2 shank of any chips or oil before seating to ensure accurate alignment. Do not use the live center beyond its rated load capacity, and inspect the bearings periodically for smooth rotation and signs of wear.
