Dead Centers
A dead center is a one-piece center that does not
rotate with the workpiece and is used to support
long, slender workpieces
Use the dead center in the spindle for operations
where the workpiece rotates with the center and
does not generate friction.
The carbide-tipped dead center can better with-
stand the effects of friction and is best used in the
tailstock where the workpiece will rotate against
it. The tip of the center must be generously lubri-
cated during the operation to avoid premature
wear and maximize smooth operation. Using low
spindle speeds will also reduce the heat and wear
from friction.
