International Tools fixed lathe centres 60° with Morse taper

International Tools fixed lathe centres 60° with Morse taper support a workpiece between centres during turning, with the point in the centre hole and the taper in the machine's mount. The 60° point matches a standard centre hole, so the workpiece stays centred along its full length.

The range runs from MK 1 to MK 5, and that size drives the choice. Check which Morse taper the tailstock or spindle of your lathe takes and pick exactly the same size: a taper that does not match leaves play, and the workpiece no longer runs true. Small tapers suit compact machines, the larger sizes heavier lathes and longer workpieces. Every version comes from the ECO PRO line of International Tools.

A fixed centre does not rotate with the workpiece. Keep the centre hole clean and lubricated, and set the contact pressure to suit the job, so point and hole do not wear faster than they need to. These centres sit within International Tools workpiece clamping, next to the other clamping tools for the same machines.
