A Spare Point is a replaceable tip used in revolving centres, dead centres, and other precision tooling applications. It extends the life of the tool by allowing worn-out tips to be replaced instead of replacing the entire centre.

Types of Spare Points

• Standard Spare Point – General-purpose tip for various machining operations
• Carbide-Tipped Spare Point – Provides enhanced wear resistance for high-precision work
• Interchangeable Spare Point – Designed for modular revolving centres
• Specialized Spare Point – Custom shapes for specific machining applications

Size Range

• Available in different diameters and tapers (Morse Taper MT1 to MT6)

Features

• Made from hardened steel or carbide for durability
• Precision-ground for accurate machining performance
• Easy to replace, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs
• Compatible with various lathe centres and machine tool holders

Applications

• Used in revolving centres and dead centres for extended usability
• Common in metalworking, CNC machining, and grinding operations
• Helps maintain accuracy and performance in turning, facing, and taper cutting

Spare Points are essential for maintaining tool performance and cost-effectiveness in machining operations, ensuring continued precision and efficiency.
