    Recommended center diameter for center rest

    Hi all,

    I need to machine a shaft that will be ground between centers.
    I have looked high & low for a standard that recommends a center end diamter or depth in the shaft.

    Does anyone have a chart that may reference this information
    The only information I have found is for the physical sizes of the center drill tools.

    Here is a brief description of my part
    60° Center
    Part Length = 3.622"
    End Dia. #1 = .3543"
    End Dia #2 = .5512"

    Thanks for the help

    I appreciate the reply.

    This isnt exactly the details I was looking for

    Is there a specification that would state center drill diameter based on the shaft diameter.
    EX
    SHAFT Dia. CENTER DIA or CENTER SIZE
    .125 - .250" = .050 Dia
    .251 - .500" = .125 Dia
    .501 - 1.00" = .250 Dia

    I guess I could have stated what I was looking for better.
    Once againg thanks for the information.
    I may use this in information training of the shop employees
