Built from carbon steel with a standard 60-degree included angle point, this dead center provides a stable, rigid reference point for turning operations between centers. The shank features a No. 5 Morse Taper (5MT) for secure, self-holding fit in compatible tailstock spindles. The head and point diameter measure 1.6929 inches, and the overall length is 8 inches. At 4.3 pounds, the unit is sized for medium to large lathe applications in job shop, tool room, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis solid dead center is suited for manual and CNC lathe work where the workpiece or center itself is stationary during the cut. Typical applications include shaft turning, cylindrical grinding setups, and between-center turning operations in metalworking environments. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working on lathes equipped with a No. 5 Morse Taper tailstock. Because it is a solid (non-live) center, it is most appropriate for low-speed operations or where lubrication at the contact point is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 60-degree included angle point for conventional between-center turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 5 Morse Taper (5MT) shank for self-holding fit in compatible tailstock spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.6929-inch head and point diameter for medium to large lathe work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-inch overall length provides reach suitable for larger workpiece setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction — solid, non-rotating dead center design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot carbide-tipped; intended for low-speed or lubricated contact applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom solid dead center for lathes equipped with a No. 5 Morse Taper (5MT) tailstock spindle bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before installing or removing the center, power down the lathe and ensure the spindle is fully stopped. Insert the 5MT shank firmly into the tailstock spindle bore to seat the Morse Taper; use a drawbar or drift rod to remove when required. Because this is a solid dead center, apply appropriate cutting oil or grease to the contact point during use to prevent galling and heat buildup at the workpiece center hole.\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\u003ePoint Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 5MT\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: 1.6929 inches (43.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6929 inches (43.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbide-Tipped\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23153000\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: SC01816628\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722305044786,"sku":"SC01816628","price":31.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1d8659940a8013d303345b50bd68d7b4_c7a9e62e-bb76-4448-b386-98ca4b046670.jpg?v=1788589002","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-sc01816628-solid-dead-center-5mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
