Heavy Duty 60° MT2 Live Center, 2MT Morse Taper Precision Rotary Revolving Center for Metal Lathe High Speed Turning, Metal Work Tool for High Speed Turning

The "Rotating Partner" of the Lathe Tailstock: Ordinary dead centers hold the workpiece in place, causing the workpiece to rotate while the center remains stationary, resulting in frictional heat and decreased accuracy. This MT2 live center features an internal precision bearing, allowing it to rotate along with the workpiece, minimizing friction and heat generation, making it suitable for long-duration, high-speed turning. Mohs Taper Shank No. 2, One-Step Clamping: The Morse taper is the standard interface for machine tool tailstocks. The MT2 taper shank is inserted into the tailstock sleeve and gently pushed to tighten; the taper surface is self-locking, eliminating the need for additional locking devices. It can be easily removed with a wedge after use, ensuring high efficiency during changesover. 60° Standard Taper Angle, Wide Adaptability: In machining, the center hole drilled on the workpiece end face is typically a 60° taper angle. The head angle of this live center matches this standard, changing line contact to surface contact when holding the workpiece, resulting in more even force distribution and more stable positioning. Heavy-Duty Design, Enhanced Load Capacity: Compared to lightweight live centers, this product features reinforced bearing specifications and a thicker housing wall. Suitable for machining shaft-type workpieces with large diameters, or for heavy cutting conditions during rough machining.

• 1. Rotates Synchronously with the Workpiece—Say Goodbye to Frictional Heat: Unlike standard dead centers—where the workpiece rotates while the center remains stationary, generating friction that can easily burn out the workpiece's center hole—this MT2 Live Center features internal precision bearings. It rotates in perfect sync with the workpiece, resulting in minimal heat generation and reduced wear, making it ideal for prolonged, continuous turning operations
• 2. Morse Taper #2 Shank—Effortless, One-Step Clamping: Utilizing a standard Morse Taper #2 (MT2) interface—with a taper ratio of approximately 1:20—this tool is compatible with the tailstocks of most small to medium-sized manual and CNC lathes. It self-locks upon insertion, requiring no additional fastening; removal is just as simple—a single tap with a wedge key is all it takes—ensuring high efficiency during tool changes
• 3. Standard 60° Cone Angle—Perfect Fit for Common Center Holes: In mechanical machining, the vast majority of center holes drilled into the end faces of shaft-type workpieces feature a 60° cone angle. The head angle of this live center aligns precisely with this industry standard; when supporting a workpiece, it ensures uniform force distribution and stable positioning, eliminating the wobbling and instability often associated with point-contact support
• 4.Hardened Head—Resistant to Wear and Indentation: The tip of the live center undergoes high-frequency induction hardening, achieving a hardness rating of HRC 58–60. When machining softer materials—such as mild steel or aluminum alloys—it leaves no indentations within the workpiece's center hole; conversely, when machining harder materials, the center itself resists wear, thereby maintaining its precise geometric shape and accuracy over the long term
• 5.Sealing and Protection: Equipped with a dustproof and waterproof sealing ring at the front end, it effectively prevents cutting fluid and metal dust from entering the bearing. This ensures smooth bearing rotation in both wet and dry cutting environments, extending its service life
