🔍 Key Concepts

• Tailstock and its function on a lathe • Difference between a live center and a dead center • How work is supported and rotated on a lathe

💭 Think About

• Think about which parts of the lathe rotate with the work and which parts stay still. • Ask yourself what the word dead is usually used to mean in mechanical terms (motion vs. no motion). • Consider which option describes a characteristic that is unique to a dead center, not just any center.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which lathe center is mounted in the headstock and which in the tailstock. • Check which center type (live or dead) is designed to rotate with the work. • Eliminate any option that could also describe a normal rotating or "live" center, since this question is specifically about a dead center.
