It features a 3MT Morse taper shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible spindle bores. The standard point style has a 60-degree included angle and a head diameter of 0.8661 inches, matching the point diameter at 0.8661 inches. The overall length is 5 inches. Constructed from carbon steel, this dead center is suited for general turning and cylindrical grinding setups where the workpiece or center can be properly lubricated to manage friction at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is appropriate for manual lathe operations in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. It is commonly used in setups where precision alignment between centers is required for turning shafts, pins, and similar cylindrical workpieces. The 3MT Morse taper shank fits standard No. 3 Morse taper tailstock and headstock bores found on a wide range of manual engine lathes. Installation and use are handled by machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid dead center construction provides a rigid, vibration-free support point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank for secure, self-locking fit in compatible spindle bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 60-degree included angle point for universal compatibility with center-drilled workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead and point diameter of 0.8661 inches for consistent workpiece contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction for durability in general turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-inch overall length suits standard tailstock reach requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in lathe tailstocks and headstocks with a No. 3 Morse taper (3MT) bore.

Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the center from the spindle bore. Clean the Morse taper bore and the shank thoroughly before insertion to ensure full, concentric seating. When using a dead center, apply an appropriate center lubricant or cutting fluid to the contact point to reduce friction and prevent galling on the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Dead Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Morse Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3MT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8661 inches (22.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8661 inches (22.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches (127.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbide-Tipped\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SC01816602\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698187862322,"sku":"SC01816602","price":16.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2fb30a22f62ad754e1ba088d38732eb3.jpg?v=1788359025","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-sc01816602-solid-dead-center-3mt-morse-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
