Dead Center, 1MT, Carbide Tip

The 60° point is dead-on accurate, and the hardened steel body feels solid when it seats in the tailstock. I checked the runout with a dial indicator and it's barely a thou. Worked perfectly for spotting holes on a batch of shafts.

This replaced a worn-out center on my lathe and the hardened steel body feels rock solid. The 0.475" diameter fits my headstock taper snugly, and the 60º point holds work true without any wobble.

The 60-degree point on this dead center engages workpieces squarely and stays true even under heavier cuts. Ground finish on the carbide tip is noticeably smooth.
