Dead Centers
Available14 products
Dead centers have a fixed point that supports the workpiece in low-speed milling operations, roughing out, grinding, and applications where friction is not a concern or the workpiece remains fixed. Dead centers support heavier work than live centers and can produce less accurate results. Lathe centers install in the tailstock to support the workpiece and keep it accurately centered between a lathe's headstock and tailstock to ensure concentric machining.
Dead Centers
Dead centers are made from hardened steel and have precision-ground surfaces that provide long life. They support hard materials in manual turning applications.

Carbide-Tipped Dead Centers
Carbide-tipped dead centers are used in high-precision metalworking applications or when supporting hard materials. The carbide tip is brazed (joined using a filler metal) to the shaft to improve strength and minimize separation risk.

Threaded Dead Centers for CNCs
Threaded dead centers for CNCs install in live tailstocks, and have threads that attach to an extraction nut to ease removal from CNC spindles. Hardened steel construction and precision-ground surfaces provide long life.
