Value Collection CL-21-008 Live Center Point Set MT4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CL-21-008 is a 9-piece live center point set designed for use in lathe tailstocks equipped with a Morse Taper 4 (MT4) shank. Live centers rotate with the workpiece, reducing friction and heat buildup during turning operations. This set includes 7 interchangeable point styles, giving machinists flexibility across a range of turning, facing, and support applications. The MT4 shank seats securely in compatible tailstocks, and the standard point geometry handles general-purpose center work. Rated for a maximum workpiece weight of 1500 pounds and a maximum spindle speed of 1800 RPM, this set suits heavy-duty manual and CNC lathe operations in production and job shop environments.

This live center point set is suited for metal turning operations on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers that accept MT4 tooling. The 7 included points allow the operator to switch between standard, pipe, ball-bearing, and similar contact geometries without changing the entire center assembly. It is a practical bench-stock item for machine shops performing shaft work, between-centers turning, and heavy workpiece support where a dead center would generate excessive heat or surface damage.

Installation Notes

Installation 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. Ensure the MT4 bore and shank are clean and free of chips or burrs before insertion to achieve a solid taper seat. Do not exceed the rated RPM or workpiece weight limits during operation.
