MT DEAD CENTER SERIES
Dead Centers
Overview
Fixed Morse taper dead centers for turning, grinding and inspection. Specify the MT size and point angle, or provide a drawing for the required point geometry.

Product description
Dead centers provide fixed-point support for turning, grinding and inspection setups. Specify the machine taper and point geometry separately, using the workpiece center-hole drawing where possible. Include the operation and required inspection criteria so the point construction and fit can be reviewed. Confirm these details for the selected model rather than assuming that all dead centers share the same material or capacity.
Point and taper selection
Specify the Morse taper and the drawing-defined point geometry independently.
Operation-specific review
State turning, grinding or inspection use so the proposed specification can be confirmed.
Full point or relief for grinding-wheel access?
A full dead center keeps the complete point. A half-center design removes part of the point to give a grinding wheel more access near a small workpiece. The cutaway is therefore an access feature, not a different machine taper.
Start with the workpiece center hole and the wheel or tool approach. Compare point angle, contact area, projection and the clearance envelope on a drawing. A familiar Morse taper size does not settle those details. Point construction, including any carbide tip, must be identified separately.
Technical background: Riten dead-center construction and maintenance. These general design distinctions do not establish FuRui stock or model ratings.
Check the contact surfaces before ordering a replacement
Inspect both the mounting taper and the workpiece center hole. Debris, damaged seating surfaces, grooves or wear rings can affect support; a new center alone will not correct a damaged or poorly formed center hole.
For a grinding inquiry, send the center-hole detail and wheel-access drawing. For an inspection fixture, send the datum arrangement and acceptance criteria. Add the existing center code, machine connection and requested point construction so the quotation addresses the actual replacement.
Request a dead-center drawing and quotation. If your requirement is a bearing-supported rotating point, compare the separate live-center selection page.
Specification requirements
Dimensions are in millimeters unless otherwise stated. Confirm the final drawing before ordering.
Drawing confirmation requiredThis page provides a family/model index or an inquiry checklist, not a complete manufacturing drawing. Request the selected model dimensions, fit and required inspection criteria before ordering.

Application scenarios
Typical selection contexts for this series, not customer project claims. Confirm machine compatibility and cutting conditions for your setup.
Between-centers inspection
Supporting a part whose inspection setup is defined around its center holes.
Grinding support
Reviewing a fixed center against the grinding machine and workpiece arrangement.
Tool-room replacement
Matching an existing center by taper, point and overall envelope.
Inspection & order review
Specify the dimensions, tolerances and records your order requires. Acceptance criteria must be agreed for the selected model.
Drawing information to provide
- Taper
- Point angle
- Application
Check the drawing reference faces and units. A catalog size alone does not define a tolerance or an inspection method.
Records to request
List any required dimensional report, material document or model identification photograph in your inquiry. Confirm availability and scope in the quotation.
For a drawing-based part, include the drawing revision and identify the critical dimensions. Website photographs are not inspection reports.
Packaging & delivery
Agree the packing method and photo requirements when confirming your order.
Order-specific photo confirmation
No verified shipment photographs for this series are currently published. Include selected-model, protective-packing and outer-label photos in your order requirements.
Discuss packing requirementsPhotos to confirm before dispatch
Use this checklist to agree what should be documented for your selected model.
- Point configuration identified on the item record
- Tip and taper protected from contact
- Matched items or pairs labeled where ordered
Stock, dispatch date and shipping method are confirmed with the quotation. Website images are not live inventory evidence.

Models and specificationsDoes dead center mean the same as live center?
No. A dead center has no internal bearings; a live center does. A dead center can nevertheless rotate as part of a rotating machine mounting, so classify the center by its construction as well as the setup.
Is a carbide tip included as standard?
Specify whether you need a carbide-tipped or another point construction, and confirm it on the quotation and drawing. The family listing does not establish one point material for all supplied models.
Can I assume a point angle from the product name?
Confirm the point angle and profile on the drawing instead of relying on the family name.
What is needed for an inspection-center inquiry?
Provide the machine or fixture connection, workpiece center-hole geometry and required inspection criteria.
