Value Collection CL-21-007 Live Center Point Set MT3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CL-21-007 is a 9-piece live center point set designed for use on engine lathes and turning centers equipped with a Morse Taper 3 (MT3) spindle. Live centers rotate with the workpiece, reducing friction and heat at the tailstock during turning operations. This set supports workpieces weighing up to 1100 pounds and is rated to 1800 RPM, making it suitable for a wide range of general-purpose turning tasks. The set includes 7 interchangeable point styles along with the live center body, allowing machinists and toolroom technicians to adapt quickly to different part geometries without changing tailstock tooling.

This live center point set is intended for use in metal fabrication shops, toolrooms, and production turning environments where a single MT3 tailstock needs to handle varied workpiece profiles. The standard point style and interchangeable tips cover common turning scenarios including shaft work, tapered components, and center-drilled stock. Technicians working on medium-duty lathes with MT3 tailstocks will find this set covers most general turning and facing applications. The 1800 RPM maximum speed rating suits typical roughing and finishing passes on steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or removing the taper shank from the tailstock spindle. Ensure the MT3 taper bore and shank are clean and free of chips or burrs before insertion to achieve proper seating and concentricity. Do not exceed the rated 1800 RPM or 1100-pound workpiece weight limit during operation.
