Value Collection SC01816610 Solid Dead Center 4MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC01816610 is a solid dead center designed for use in lathe tailstocks and machining fixtures requiring a stationary support point. Built from carbon steel with a standard 60-degree included angle point, this dead center accepts a 4MT (No. 4 Morse Taper) shank for secure, repeatable seating in compatible tailstock bores. The head and point diameter measure 1.1417 inches (29.00 mm), and the overall length is 6-3/8 inches (161.93 mm). Machinists and tool-room technicians install this type of center when workpiece rotation against the point is controlled through lubrication or when the center is used in a stationary application.

This solid dead center is suited for general metalworking and machining operations on manual and CNC lathes equipped with a No. 4 Morse Taper tailstock. It supports turned parts during facing, turning, and cylindrical grinding setups where a live center is not required or where rigidity and simplicity are preferred. The standard point style makes it appropriate for typical center-drilled workpieces across a wide range of diameters in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 4MT (No. 4 Morse Taper) shank seats securely in compatible tailstock bores without additional adapters
• Standard 60-degree included angle point matches industry-standard center-drilled workpieces
• Head and point diameter of 1.1417 inches (29.00 mm) for consistent workpiece support
• Overall length of 6-3/8 inches supports proper tailstock engagement and reach
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness and durability for general-purpose turning applications
• Solid (non-rotating) design offers maximum rigidity when workpiece speed and heat are managed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern replacement or spare solid dead center for manual and CNC lathes with a No. 4 Morse Taper tailstock bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before inserting or removing the center, power down and lock out the lathe spindle per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Clean the Morse Taper bore and the center shank thoroughly before seating to ensure proper contact and prevent slippage. When using a dead center against a rotating workpiece, apply appropriate center lubricant to the point to reduce heat buildup and wear.
