Built with a Morse Taper 2 (MT2) shank and a bull nose point style, this unit supports workpieces up to 1,930 pounds and handles a radial load of 440 pounds. The steel construction and 0.0004 inch accuracy rating make it a reliable choice for production turning and general-purpose machining. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working with engine lathes, turret lathes, and similar turning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BNC\/EC\/2 is suited for both light-production and maintenance-shop environments where a dependable live center with a bull nose point is required. The bull nose point style accommodates workpieces with larger center bores or irregular end profiles that a standard 60-degree point cannot engage properly. With a head diameter of 2.48 inches and an overall length of 5.35 inches, the unit fits tail-stock bores sized for MT2 tooling. It is appropriate for residential shop use and commercial machine-shop environments alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMT2 taper shank for direct tail-stock mounting without adapters on compatible lathes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBull nose point style supports workpieces with large or irregular center bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum workpiece weight capacity of 1,930 pounds with 440 pound radial load rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy of 0.0004 inches for consistent concentricity in turning operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability under continuous machining loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint diameter of 0.46 inches and point length of 1.42 inches for positive workpiece engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-mount live center for lathes equipped with an MT2 tail-stock taper bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before installing or removing the center, power down the lathe and bring the spindle to a full stop.
